Hi everyone,

I have been using cloudflared for DNS-over-HTTPS for the past 5 years and it’s been working pretty well. One of the reasons for using it was because my ISP was hijacking my DNS queries and changing it to their own DNS server.

However, I saw this news where the proxy-dns feature in cloudflared is being closed and they are asking customers to shift to their WARP client instead.

I want to know what the community is using for encrypted DNS services (DoH, DoT, DoQ)

Thanks :)

    Yes you’ll need a way to query the domain of the DoH service in plaintext before using it. In many software you can define “bootstrap DNS addresses” to do exactly that. Or you can hardcode the DoH service’s IPs, which for most upstream providers are almost always the same as their “normal” IPs anyways
