## What it is
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
