Package dns provides utilities to interact with the Domain Name System (DNS). | ||
The [Domain Name System] (DNS) is responsible for mapping domain names to IP addresses. | ||
Because domain resolution gatekeeps connections and is predominantly done in plaintext, it is commonly used | ||
for network-level filtering. | ||
The main concept in this library is that of a [Resolver], which allows code to query the DNS. Different implementations are provided | ||
to perform DNS resolution over multiple transports: | ||
- DNS-over-UDP: the standard mechanism of querying resolvers. Communication is done in plaintext, using port 53. | ||
- [DNS-over-TCP]: alternative to UDP when responses are large. Communication is done in plaintext, using port 53. | ||
- [DNS-over-TLS] (DoT): uses the TCP protocol, but over a connection encrypted with TLS. Is uses port 853, which | ||
makes it very easy to block using the port number, as no other protocol is assigned to that port. | ||
- [DNS-over-HTTPS] (DoH): uses HTTP exchanges for querying the resolver and communicates over a connection encrypted with TLS. It uses | ||
port 443. That makes the DoH traffic undistinguishable from web traffic, making it harder to block. | ||
