DNS over HTTPS (DoH)

6 min read Protocols & Standards

DNS over HTTPS encrypts DNS queries, preventing eavesdropping and manipulation but creating new considerations for network security.

What is DoH?

DoH encapsulates DNS queries within HTTPS, making them indistinguishable from regular web traffic.

Benefits

  • Privacy - Prevents ISP and network-level DNS monitoring.
  • Security - Protects against DNS hijacking and spoofing.

Security Considerations

DoH can bypass network security controls and DNS-based filtering, requiring new approaches to monitoring.
