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

A fast, secure DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and Oblivious DoH (ODoH) server proxy written in Rust, formerly known as doh-proxy. It does not resolve DNS itself but sits in front of any DNS resolver to add encrypted DNS support, with production use since 2018.

Use cases

  • run my own dns-over-https server
  • add doh support to an existing dns resolver
  • host an oblivious doh (odoh) server for privacy
  • serve dns-over-https api like google dns
  • deploy encrypted dns behind nginx or haproxy
  • self-host a secure doh proxy in rust

When to choose

  • you need a battle-tested, production-grade DoH/ODoH frontend for an existing DNS resolver
  • you want high performance encrypted DNS written in Rust
  • you need Google-compatible DoH JSON API support or EDNS Client Subnet forwarding

When to avoid

  • you need a full recursive DNS resolver (this only proxies to one)
  • you want a client-side DoH proxy for end-user devices rather than a server
  • you prefer a non-Rust stack or need a GUI-managed DNS solution
