Quickie DoH (DNS over HTTPS) is a small webserver you can spin up, it acts as a DoH forwarder, which means it forwards your DoH requests to a real DoH server.
|
||
|
|
Maybe someday, i'll add the features to make it a standalone server but... for now, this will do!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How do I use it?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Install node and npm, run `npm i` and thats it!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Whats the point?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Public networks (or school/enterprise networks) often block a lot sites, most of them achieve this blocking by forcing all requests thru a DNS server they control!
|
||
|
|
and then, they just block whatever sites they want to...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
BUT THIS IS BAD!!!
|
||
|
|
This is bad for two reasons!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. We should be allowed to visit whatever site we want to, it's the open net and censoring it is UNACCEPTABLE!!!
|
||
|
|
2. Forcing DNS requests through one centralized server is a privacy hazard, and it lets the network operator track your internet activity!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We remedy this solution by using DoH, DoH blends in with normal HTTPS traffic so you can use it as a DNS server and you will be free from blocks and private.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But there is an issue, DoH hostnames are often public, and that means network administrators can just block them. So... this is where Quickie DoH comes in!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You, the user, run Quickie DoH on your server (let's say ur servers domain is `coolpeople.land`) and it forwards your DoH requests to a real DoH server!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Client -> `coolpeople.land` -> `Quad9, Google, Cloudflare etc.`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To your network administrator, it looks like you're just visiting `coolpeople.land` and if there's nothing there that is remotely suspicious then there's no reason for them to block it. That way! You get the benefits of normal DoH even on a censored network!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also one extra benefit:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. You can use Google or a Big Tech company's DoH server cause to them, it looks like requests are coming from `coolpeople.land` and if you open ur instance to multiple people then they wont know who is who! Which means ur private!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Quickie DoH can't guarantee that it works tho, it might not work on networks that are whitelist-only and you probably shouldn't use it at work or you will get into trouble.
