Set up secure DNS (over TLS or HTTPS) on 16.04












0















How do I set up Secure DNS (eg over TLS or HTTPS) on 16.04?



I would prefer to use functionality built into 16.04 or apps available on the 16.04 repository. I plan to use either the Google Public DNS (eg 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1) or some combination of the two.



From a web search, the commonly recommended way is to use stubby on 18.04 for DNS over TLS, but stubby does not seem to be available on the 16.04 repository.



Current options for DNS over HTTP seems to be cloudflared by Cloudfare and doh-proxy by Facebook, neither of which seem to be available on the 16.04 repository.

          In ubuntu there is the dnss package



          From man:




          dnss is a daemon that can encapsulate DNS over HTTPS.



          It can act as a DNS-to-HTTPS proxy, using https://dns.google.com as a
          server or anything implementing the same API.



          It can also act as an HTTPS-to-DNS proxy, implementing the same HTTP
          API; you can use this instead of https://dns.google.com if you want
          more control over the servers and the final DNS server used (for
          example if you are in an isolated environment, such as a test lab or a
          private network).



          In the default mode of operation, it listens for DNS requests on port
          53, and will query an HTTPS server (https://dns.google.com by default)
          to resolve them.
