What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A DNS proxy server written in Go that supports all modern encrypted DNS protocols including DNS-over-TLS, DNS-over-HTTPS, DNSCrypt, and DNS-over-QUIC, and can also act as an encrypted DNS server itself. It includes features like DNS caching, DNS64, per-domain upstream routing, EDNS Client Subnet, and bogus NXDomain filtering.

Use cases

  • encrypt local DNS traffic with DoH, DoT, DoQ or DNSCrypt
  • run a local DNS proxy forwarding to encrypted upstreams
  • serve DNS-over-HTTPS or DNS-over-TLS from my own server
  • cache DNS responses and override TTLs
  • route specific domains to different DNS upstreams
  • set up a DNS64 server for IPv6-only networks
  • filter bogus DNS responses into NXDOMAIN by subnet

When to choose

  • you need a lightweight, cross-platform DNS proxy supporting all encrypted DNS protocols
  • you want a Go library to embed encrypted DNS resolution in your own application
  • you need per-domain upstream routing, caching, or DNS64 in a single tool

When to avoid

  • you need full ad-blocking and a web UI, where AdGuard Home is a better fit
  • you need a full recursive DNS resolver rather than a forwarding proxy
  • you want a GUI-managed DNS solution for non-technical users
