DNS Proxy

A simple DNS proxy server that supports all existing DNS protocols including
DNS-over-TLS, DNS-over-HTTPS, DNSCrypt, and DNS-over-QUIC. Moreover, it
can work as a DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS or DNS-over-QUIC server.
How to install
There are several options how to install dnsproxy.
- Grab the binary for your device/OS from the Releases page.
- Use the official Docker image.
- Build it yourself (see the instruction below).
How to build
You will need Go 1.25 or later.
make build
Usage
Usage of ./dnsproxy:
--bogus-nxdomain=subnet
Transform the responses containing at least a single IP that matches specified addresses and CIDRs into NXDOMAIN. Can be specified multiple times.

./dnsproxy -l 127.0.0.1 --dnscrypt-config=./dnscrypt-config.yaml --dnscrypt-port=443 --upstream=8.8.8.8:53 -p 0
[!TIP]
In order to run a DNSCrypt proxy, you need to obtain DNSCrypt configuration
first. You can use https://github.com/ameshkov/dnscrypt command-line tool to
do that with a command like this
./dnscrypt generate --provider-name=2.dnscrypt-cert.example.org --out=dnscrypt-config.yaml.
Additional features
Runs a DNS proxy on 0.0.0.0:53 with rate limit set to 10 rps, enabled DNS
cache, and that refuses type=ANY requests.
./dnsproxy -u 8.8.8.8:53 -r 10 --cache --refuse-any
Runs a DNS proxy on 127.0.0.1:5353 with multiple upstreams and enable parallel
queries to all configured upstream servers.
./dnsproxy -l 127.0.0.1 -p 5353 -u 8.8.8.8:53 -u 1.1.1.1:53 -u tls://dns.adguard.com --upstream-mode parallel
Loads upstreams list from a file.
./dnsproxy -l 127.0.0.1 -p 5353 -u ./upstreams.txt
DNS64 server
dnsproxy is capable of working as a DNS64 server.
[!NOTE] What is DNS64/NAT64 This is a mechanism of providing IPv6 access to
IPv4. Using a NAT64 gateway with IPv4-IPv6 translation capability lets
IPv6-only clients connect to IPv4-only services via synthetic IPv6 addresses
starting with a prefix that routes them to the NAT64 gateway. DNS64 is a DNS
service that returns AAAA records with these synthetic IPv6 addresses for
IPv4-only destinations (with A but not AAAA records in the DNS). This lets
IPv6-only clients use NAT64 gateways without any other configuration. See also
RFC 6147.
Enables DNS64 with the default Well-Known Prefix:
./dnsproxy -l 127.0.0.1 -p 5353 -u 8.8.8.8 --use-private-rdns --private-rdns-upstream=127.0.0.1 --dns64
You can also specify any number of custom DNS64 prefixes:
./dnsproxy -l 127.0.0.1 -p 5353 -u 8.8.8.8 --use-private-rdns --private-rdns-upstream=127.0.0.1 --dns64 --dns64-prefix=64:ffff:: --dns64-prefix=32:ffff::
Note that only the first specified prefix will be used for synthesis.
PTR queries for addresses within the specified ranges or the
Well-Known one could only be answered with locally appropriate data, so
dnsproxy will route those to the local upstream servers. Those should be
specified and enabled if DNS64 is enabled.
Fastest addr + cache-min-ttl
This option would be useful to the users with problematic network connection. In
this mode, dnsproxy would detect the fastest IP address among all that were
returned, and it will return only it.
Additionally, for those with problematic network connection, it makes sense to
override cache-min-ttl. In this case, dnsproxy will make sure that DNS
responses are cached for at least the specified amount of time.
It makes sense to run it with multiple upstream servers only.
Run a DNS proxy with two upstreams, min-TTL set to 10 minutes, fastest address
detection is enabled:
./dnsproxy -u 8.8.8.8 -u 1.1.1.1 --cache --cache-min-ttl=600 --upstream-mode=fastest_addr
This example is for users who run dnsproxy with multiple upstreams
Specifying upstreams for domains
You can specify upstreams that will be used for a specific domain(s). We use the
dnsmasq-like syntax, decorating domains with brackets (see --server
description).
Syntax: [/[domain1][/../domainN]/]upstreamString
Where upstreamString is one or many upstreams separated by space (e.g.
1.1.1.1 or 1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2).
If one or more domains are specified, that upstream (upstreamString) is used
only for those domains. Usually, it is used for private nameservers. For
instance, if you have a nameserver on your network which deals with
xxx.internal.local at 192.168.0.1 then you can specify
[/internal.local/]192.168.0.1, and dnsproxy will send all queries to that
nameserver. Everything else will be sent to the default upstreams (which are
mandatory!).
- An empty domain specification,
// has the special meaning of "unqualified
names only", which will be used to resolve names with a single label in them,
or with exactly two labels in case of DS requests.
- More specific domains take precedence over less specific domains, so:
--upstream=[/host.com/]1.2.3.4 --upstream=[/www.host.com/]2.3.4.5 will send
queries for *.host.com to 1.2.3.4, except *.www.host.com, which will go
to 2.3.4.5.
- The special server address
# means, "use the common servers", so:
--upstream=[/host.com/]1.2.3.4 --upstream=[/www.host.com/]# will send
queries for *.host.com to 1.2.3.4, except *.www.host.com which will be
forwarded as usual.
- The wildcard
* has special meaning of "any sub-domain", so:
--upstream=[/*.host.com/]1.2.3.4 will send queries for *.host.com to
1.2.3.4, but host.com will be forwarded to default upstreams.
Sends requests for *.local domains to 192.168.0.1:53. Other requests are
sent to 8.8.8.8:53:
./dnsproxy \
-u "8.8.8.8:53" \
-u "[/local/]192.168.0.1:53" \
;
Sends requests for *.host.com to 1.1.1.1:53 except for *.maps.host.com
which are sent to 8.8.8.8:53 (along with other requests):
./dnsproxy \
-u "8.8.8.8:53" \
-u "[/host.com/]1.1.1.1:53" \
-u "[/maps.host.com/]#" \
;
Sends requests for *.host.com to 1.1.1.1:53 except for host.com which is
sent to 9.9.9.10:53, and all other requests are sent to 8.8.8.8:53:
./dnsproxy \
-u "8.8.8.8:53" \
-u "[/host.com/]9.9.9.10:53" \
-u "[/*.host.com/]1.1.1.1:53" \
;
Sends requests for com (and its subdomains) to 1.2.3.4:53, requests for
other top-level domains to 1.1.1.1:53, and all other requests to 8.8.8.8:53:
./dnsproxy \
-u "8.8.8.8:53" \
-u "[//]1.1.1.1:53" \
-u "[/com/]1.2.3.4:53" \
;
Specifying private rDNS upstreams
You can specify upstreams that will be used for reverse DNS requests of type PTR
for private addresses. Same applies to the authority requests of types SOA and
NS. The set of private addresses is defined by the --private-rdns-upstream,
and the set from RFC 6303 is used by default.
The additional requirement to the domains specified for upstreams is to be
in-addr.arpa, ip6.arpa, or its subdomain. Addresses encoded in the domains
should also be private.
Sends queries for *.168.192.in-addr.arpa to 192.168.1.2, if requested by
client from 192.168.0.0/16 subnet. Other queries answered with NXDOMAIN:
./dnsproxy \
-l "0.0.0.0" \
-u "8.8.8.8" \
--use-private-rdns \
--private-subnets="192.168.0.0/16" \
--private-rdns-upstream="192.168.1.2" \
;
Sends queries for *.in-addr.arpa to 192.168.1.2, *.ip6.arpa to fe80::1,
if requested by client within the default RFC 6303 subnet set. Other
queries answered with NXDOMAIN:
./dnsproxy\
-l "0.0.0.0"\
-u 8.8.8.8\
--use-private-rdns\
--private-rdns-upstream="192.168.1.2"\
--private-rdns-upstream="[/ip6.arpa/]fe80::1"
EDNS Client Subnet
To enable support for EDNS Client Subnet extension you should run dnsproxy with
--edns flag:
./dnsproxy -u 8.8.8.8:53 --edns
Now if you connect to the proxy from the Internet - it will pass through your
original IP address's prefix to the upstream server. This way the upstream
server may respond with IP addresses of the servers that are located near you to
minimize latency.
If you want to use EDNS CS feature when you're connecting to the proxy from a
local network, you need to set --edns-addr=PUBLIC_IP argument:
./dnsproxy -u 8.8.8.8:53 --edns --edns-addr=72.72.72.72
Now even if your IP address is 192.168.0.1 and it's not a public IP, the proxy
will pass through 72.72.72.72 to the upstream server.
Bogus NXDomain
This option is similar to dnsmasq bogus-nxdomain. dnsproxy will transform
responses that contain at least a single IP address which is also specified by
the option into NXDOMAIN. Can be specified multiple times.
In the example below, we use AdGuard DNS server that returns 0.0.0.0 for
blocked domains, and transform them to NXDOMAIN.
./dnsproxy -u 94.140.14.14:53 --bogus-nxdomain=0.0.0.0
CIDR ranges are supported as well. The following will respond with NXDOMAIN
instead of responses containing any IP from 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255:
./dnsproxy -u 192.168.0.15:53 --bogus-nxdomain=192.168.0.0/16
Basic Auth for DoH
By setting the --https-userinfo option you can use dnsproxy as a DoH proxy
with basic authentication requirements.
For example:
./dnsproxy \
--https-port='443' \
--https-userinfo='user:p4ssw0rd' \
--tls-crt='…/my.crt' \
--tls-key='…/my.key' \
-u '94.140.14.14:53' \
;
This configuration will only allow DoH queries that contain an Authorization
header containing the BasicAuth credentials for user user with password
p4ssw0rd.
Add -p 0 if you also want to disable plain-DNS handling and make dnsproxy
only serve DoH with Basic Auth checking.
