COREDNS-QUIC(7)

✨ NAME ✨

quic — configures DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ) server options. hiii bestie, you’re reading the COREDNS-QUIC(7) page from the CoreDNS Plugins manual, and it’s lowkey iconic 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so the quic plugin lets you configure parameters for the DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ) server to fine-tune the security posture and performance of the server. It’s giving “let me adjust the vibes” but for your DoQ setup ✨

bestie, listen: this plugin can only be used once per quic Server Block. one-time main character energy, no cap 💅

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

quic {
    max_streams POSITIVE_INTEGER
    worker_pool_size POSITIVE_INTEGER
}

• max_streams — limits the number of concurrent QUIC streams per connection. This helps prevent DoS attacks where an attacker could open many streams on a single connection, exhausting server resources. the default value is 256 if not specified 🔥
• worker_pool_size — defines the size of the worker pool for processing QUIC streams across all connections. the default value is 512 if not specified. this limits the total number of concurrent streams that can be processed across all connections 💜

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Enable DNS-over-QUIC with default settings (256 concurrent streams per connection, 512 worker pool size):

quic://.:8853 {
    tls cert.pem key.pem
    quic
    whoami
}

Set custom limits for maximum QUIC streams per connection and worker pool size:

quic://.:8853 {
    tls cert.pem key.pem
    quic {
        max_streams 16
        worker_pool_size 65536
    }
    whoami
}
