💖 dnss — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is the manual page for dnss, a General Commands Manual entry, and honestly? it's giving main character energy. sit down, grab a strawberry, we're doing DNS ✨

✨ NAME ✨

dnss — DNS over HTTPS, periodt 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dnss [flags]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. flags go in, DNS comes out 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so dnss is a daemon for using DNS over HTTPS. yes, a daemon, like a little background guy who just lives there and does your DNS. iconic behaviour, no notes.

it can act as a proxy — it receives your DNS requests and resolves them using DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH). lowkey this is so useful if you wanna improve your DNS security and privacy on laptops and small/home networks. like, your ISP doesn't need to know every single thing you look up, bestie 😭🔒

it can also act as a DoH server, in case you want end to end control. yes queen, own the whole pipeline 👑

and in the default mode of operation? here's the tea: it listens for DNS requests on port 53, and it will query a DNS-over-HTTP server (dns.google by default) to resolve them. so out of the box it just works. we love a no-config moment 🫶

👑 OPTIONS 👑

ngl this page is keeping it mysterious:

• run dnss --help for more details 🧚
• or see the README file 📖

that's the whole options section, bestie. go read the README, it ate 💅
