Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Hi everyone,

I have been using cloudflared for DNS-over-HTTPS for the past 5 years and it's been working pretty well. One of the reasons for using it was because my ISP was hijacking my DNS queries and changing it to their own DNS server.

However, I saw this news where the proxy-dns feature in cloudflared is being closed and they are asking customers to shift to their WARP client instead.

I want to know what the community is using for encrypted DNS services (DoH, DoT, DoQ)

Thanks :)

Since you're posting in the self hosted community I'll assume you're looking for a self hosted alternative.

I've been meaning to try out Hickory DNS. I too want to use DoH on my clients, and will use native Android/Firefox options to enable it client side.

Haven't settled settled on an upstream provider yet, so from Hickory DNS onwards I'll still need to find something else.

I self-host the cloudflaredwhich is used by my Pihole as the upstream provider.

I shall check out Hickory DNS. Thanks!

Edit: Okay, the application is still in alpha-stage. I'm afraid I can't use it, but I will be keeping an eye out for it.
