Instead of auto-upgrading based on IP, advanced users can configure Chrome to use specific HTTPS endpoints directly by launching Chrome from a shortcut or a command line with the following parameters: If your computer is considered managed by Chrome, which is likely if your computer is provided to you by your work or school, it will not auto-upgrade to using DoH.

This means if you're configured to use to IP address of a local DNS server or forwarder, Chrome will not upgrade to using DoH, even if that server forwards to OpenDNS. Although it’s listed in the Linksys instructions on OpenDNS’s site, since it’s a generic IPv4 address, it should work in all routers. Note that Chrome looks for OpenDNS IP addresses specifically. Just to be thorough, Open DNS has a third IPv4 DNS server address of 208.67.222.220 according to their instructions for Linksys routers. Relaunch your browser, and your DNS queries will be encrypted! In Chrome's address bar, enter chrome://flags/#dns-over-https and set Secure DNS Lookups to Enabled. Chrome will automatically enable the use of DoH if the necessary flag is enabled and it sees OpenDNS anycast IP addresses used by the operating system for DNS.Ĭonfigure your OS to use the following IP addresses as DNS servers: Service Under Use Provider, choose Custom and enter one of the following URLs:Ĭhoose OK and your queries will be encrypted! Google Chromeĭetails and instructions on configuration are available from the Chromium Blog. Go to Options > General > Network Settings and select Enable DNS over HTTPS. Firefox can be configured to use OpenDNS as a custom DNS over HTTPS provider. Mozilla Firefoxĭetails and instructions are available from Mozilla. Steps for using DoH with OpenDNS will depend on your browser and operating system. OpenDNS now has the following DoH endpoints available: HostnameĪ DoH frontend to our standard production DNS service as provided on 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220Ī DoH frontend to our FamilyShield DNS service, pre-configured to block adult content, as provided on 208.67.222.123 and 208.67.220.123 The latter makes it possible to use extra functionality like registering DHCP hostnames in DNS. There are two approaches: 1) have clients talk directly to dnscrypt-proxy from the network, or 2) use the built in dnsmasq forwarder in pfSense. Your browser's DNS traffic becomes encrypted to remain private and unmodified by network operators and snoops. These instructions apply to dnscrypt-proxy version 2 and are tested on pfSense 2.4.

Keep your DNS queries private by using DNS over HTTPS (DoH) in supporting web browsers.
