DNS-over-HTTPS
==============
Client and server software to query DNS over HTTPS, using [Google DNS-over-HTTPS protocol](https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/dns-over-https)
and [IETF DNS-over-HTTPS (RFC 8484)](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8484.txt).
## Guides
- [Tutorial: Setup your own DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) server](https://www.aaflalo.me/2018/10/tutorial-setup-dns-over-https-server/). (Thanks to Antoine Aflalo)
- [Tutorial: Setup your own Docker based DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) server](https://github.com/satishweb/docker-doh/blob/master/README.md). (Thanks to Satish Gaikwad)
## Installing
### From Source
- Install [Go](https://golang.org), at least version 1.20. The newer, the better.
> Note for Debian/Ubuntu users: You need to set `$GOROOT` if you could not get your new version of Go selected by the Makefile.
- First create an empty directory, used for `$GOPATH`:
```bash
mkdir ~/gopath
export GOPATH=~/gopath
```
- To build the program, type:
```bash
make
```
- To install DNS-over-HTTPS as Systemd services, type:
```bash
sudo make install
```
- By default, [Google DNS over HTTPS](https://dns.google.com) is used. It should
work for most users (except for People's Republic of China). If you need to
modify the default settings, type:
```bash
sudoedit /etc/dns-over-https/doh-client.conf
```
- To automatically start DNS-over-HTTPS client as a system service, type:
```bash
sudo systemctl start doh-client.service
sudo systemctl enable doh-client.service
```
- Then, modify your DNS settings (usually with NetworkManager) to 127.0.0.1.
- To test your configuration, type:
```bash
dig www.google.com
Output:
;; SERVER: 127.0.0.1#53(127.0.0.1)
```
#### Uninstall
- To uninstall, type:
```bash
sudo make uninstall
```
> Note: The configuration files are kept at `/etc/dns-over-https`. Remove them manually if you want.
### Using docker image
```bash
docker run -d --name doh-server \
-p 8053:8053 \
-e UPSTREAM_DNS_SERVER="udp:8.8.8.8:53" \
-e DOH_HTTP_PREFIX="/dns-query" \
-e DOH_SERVER_LISTEN=":8053" \
-e DOH_SERVER_TIMEOUT="10" \
-e DOH_SERVER_TRIES="3" \
-e DOH_SERVER_VERBOSE="false" \
satishweb/doh-server
```
Feeling adventurous? Try the latest build:
- `m13253/dns-over-https-server:latest`
- `m13253/dns-over-https-client:latest`
## Logging
All log lines (by either doh-client or doh-server) are written into `stderr`; you can view them using your OS tool of choice (`journalctl` when using systemd).
## Server Configuration
The following is a typical DNS-over-HTTPS architecture:
+--------------+ +------------------------+
| Application | | Recursive DNS Server |
+-------+------+ +-----------+------------+
| |
+-------+------+ +-----------+------------+
| Client side | | doh-server |
| cache (nscd) | +-----------+------------+
+-------+------+ |
| +--------------------------+ +-----------+------------+
+-------+------+ | HTTP cache server / | | HTTP service muxer |
| doh-client +--+ Content Delivery Network +--+ (Apache, Nginx, Caddy) |
+--------------+ +--------------------------+ +------------------------+
Although DNS-over-HTTPS can work alone, an HTTP service muxer would be useful as
you can host DNS-over-HTTPS along with other HTTPS services.
HTTP/2 with at least TLS v1.3 is recommended. OCSP stapling must be enabled,
otherwise DNS recursion may happen.
### Configuration file
The main configuration file is `doh-client.conf`.
**Server selectors.** If several upstream servers are set, one is selected according to `upstream_selector` for each request. With `upstream_selector = "random"`, a random upstream server will be chosen for each request.
```toml
# available selector: random (default) or weighted_round_robin or lvs_weighted_round_robin
upstream_selector = "random"
```
### Example configuration: Apache
```bash
SSLProtocol TLSv1.2

Protocols h2 http/1.1
ProxyPass /dns-query http://[::1]:8053/dns-query

```

### Example configuration: DNS-over-TLS
There is no native [DNS-over-TLS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_over_TLS) support, but you can easily add it via nginx:
```
stream {
server {
listen *:853 ssl;
proxy_pass ipofyourdnsresolver:port #127.0.0.1:53
}
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/site.yourdomain/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/site.yourdomain/privkey.pem;
}
```
The DoT service can also be provided by running a [STunnel](https://www.stunnel.org/) instance to wrap dnsmasq (or any other resolver of your choice, listening on a TCP port);
this approach does not need a stand-alone daemon to provide the DoT service.
## DNSSEC
DNS-over-HTTPS is compatible with DNSSEC, and requests DNSSEC signatures by
default. However, signature validation is not built-in. It is highly recommended
that you install `unbound` or `bind` and pass results for them to validate DNS
records. An instance of [Pi Hole](https://pi-hole.net) could also be used to validate DNS signatures as well as provide other capabilities.
## EDNS0-Client-Subnet (GeoDNS)
DNS-over-HTTPS supports EDNS0-Client-Subnet protocol, which submits part of the
client's IP address (/24 for IPv4, /56 for IPv6 by default) to the upstream
server. This is useful for GeoDNS and CDNs to work, and is exactly the same
configuration as most public DNS servers.
Keep in mind that /24 is not enough to track a single user, although it is
precise enough to know the city where the user is located. If you think
EDNS0-Client-Subnet is affecting your privacy, you can set `no_ecs = true` in
`/etc/dns-over-https/doh-client.conf`, with the cost of slower video streaming
or software downloading speed.
To ultilize ECS, `X-Forwarded-For` or `X-Real-IP` should be enabled on your
HTTP service muxer. If your server is backed by `unbound` or `bind`, you
probably want to configure it to enable the EDNS0-Client-Subnet feature as
well.
## Protocol compatibility
### Google DNS-over-HTTPS Protocol
DNS-over-HTTPS uses a protocol compatible to [Google DNS-over-HTTPS](https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/dns-over-https),
except for absolute expire time is preferred to relative TTL value. Refer to
[json-dns/response.go](json-dns/response.go) for a complete description of the
API.
### IETF DNS-over-HTTPS Protocol
DNS-over-HTTPS uses a protocol compatible to [IETF DNS-over-HTTPS (RFC 8484)](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8484.txt).
### Supported features
Currently supported features are:
- [X] IPv4 / IPv6
- [X] EDNS0 large UDP packet (4 KiB by default)
- [X] EDNS0-Client-Subnet (/24 for IPv4, /56 for IPv6 by default)
## Known issues
* it does not work well with [dnscrypt-proxy](https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy), you might want to use either (or fix the compatibility bugs by submitting PRs)
## The name of the project
This project is named "DNS-over-HTTPS" because it was written before the IETF DoH project. Although this project is compatible with IETF DoH, the project is not affiliated with IETF.
To avoid confusion, you may also call this project "m13253/DNS-over-HTTPS" or anything you like.
