DNS over HTTPS (DoH)

Doggo supports DNS over HTTPS (DoH), which encrypts DNS queries and responses, enhancing privacy and security by preventing eavesdropping and manipulation of DNS traffic.

Using DoH with Doggo

To use DoH, specify a DoH server URL prefixed with @https://:

Terminal window
doggo mrkaran.dev @https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query

Doggo works with various DoH providers. Here are some popular options:

  1. Cloudflare: @https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query
  2. Google: @https://dns.google/dns-query
  3. Quad9: @https://dns.quad9.net/dns-query

Benefits of Using DoH

  • Encrypts DNS traffic, improving privacy
  • Helps bypass DNS-based content filters
  • Can improve DNS security by preventing DNS spoofing attacks

Considerations When Using DoH

  • May introduce slight latency compared to classic DNS
  • Some network administrators may not approve of DoH use, as it bypasses local DNS controls
