It relies on Dnsmasq and https-dns-proxy for masking DNS traffic as HTTPS traffic. Follow DNS hijacking to intercept DNS traffic or use VPN to protect all traffic. Goals Encrypt your DNS traffic improving security and privacy. Prevent DNS leak and DNS hijacking. Bypass regional restrictions using public DNS providers. Escape DNS-based content filters and internet censorship. Instructions Install the packages and DNS encryption should be configured automatically. # Install packages opkg update opkg install dnsmasq https-dns-proxy LAN clients should use Dnsmasq as a primary resolver. Dnsmasq forwards DNS queries to https-dns-proxy which encrypts DNS traffic. Testing Verify that domain name resolution works. nslookup openwrt.org localhost Check your DNS provider. Make sure there is no DNS leak. https://dnsleaktest.com/ Test DNSSEC validation. https://dnssec.vs.uni-due.de/ Troubleshooting Collect and analyze the following information. # Restart services /etc/init.d/log restart; /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart; /etc/init.d/https-dns-proxy restart # Log and status logread -e dnsmasq; netstat -l -n -p | grep -e dnsmasq logread -e https-dns; netstat -l -n -p | grep -e https-dns # Runtime configuration pgrep -f -a dnsmasq; pgrep -f -a https-dns # Persistent configuration uci show dhcp; uci show https-dns-proxy Extras Web interface Install the necessary packages if you want to manage the settings using web interface. # Install packages opkg update opkg install luci-app-https-dns-proxy /etc/init.d/rpcd restart Navigate to LuCI → Network → DHCP and DNS to configure Dnsmasq. Navigate to LuCI → Services → HTTPS DNS Proxy to configure https-dns-proxy. DoH provider https-dns-proxy is configured with Google DNS and Cloudflare DNS by default. You can change it Google DNS or any other DoH provider. Make sure the provider supports DNSSEC validation if required. Specify several servers to improve fault tolerance. # Configure DoH provider while uci -q delete https-dns-proxy.@https-dns-proxy[0]; do :; done uci set https-dns-proxy.dns="https-dns-proxy" uci set https-dns-proxy.dns.bootstrap_dns="8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4" uci set https-dns-proxy.dns.resolver_url="https://dns.google/dns-query" uci set https-dns-proxy.dns.listen_addr="127.0.0.1" uci set https-dns-proxy.dns.listen_port="5053" uci commit https-dns-proxy /etc/init.d/https-dns-proxy restart This website uses cookies.
