@kamyk @quad9dns Funny that people on the fediverse boast they use a decentralized social network to avoid big capitalist social networks but then use public #DNS resolvers managed by big US corporations.

@m0xee They have a public resolver?

They do! I use their DNS over HTTPS service, it's: ordns.he.net/dns-query
They have traditional public resolvers as well, but I don't have their IP-addresses at hand.

@m0xee @bortzmeyer and their doh service will respond without the `/dns-query` if you pop `:443` at the end in the event you have a doh proxy somewhere on the internets.

Good to know! Are these paths standardised? I don't really know what conventions these URLs follow: for some resolvers they look like simple host names, others are relatively complex. And I am running a proxy actually — on my router, to avoid using ISP's resolver entirely, with ":443" it definitely looks shorter, would this speed the requests up?

most doh providers will use the `/doh-query` at the end of the url, but not always. it's not a requirement. some will allow the path and then the explicit port number as well.

i'd go ahead and try it and see if it works. it did for me and i had a doh proxy built with nginx

@jae @m0xee I've never seen /doh-query. An example?

@m0xee @jae The standard mentions the path /dns-query but just as an example. You are supposed to read the documentation of the service you want to use.
See the home page of dns4all.eu/ for an example.
