Cloudflared may be used to run a local DNS over HTTPS server (DoH), i.e., a stub resolver.

## Installation

Install the cloudflaredAUR or cloudflared-binAUR package.

## Configuration

Create the following file, replacing `<endpoint>` with preferred endpoints:

    /etc/cloudflared/config.yml

    proxy-dns: true
    proxy-dns-upstream:
     - <endpoint>
     - <endpoint>
     - <endpoint>
    proxy-dns-port: 53
    proxy-dns-address: 0.0.0.0

As per upstream documentation, here are the available endpoints:

Tip: cURL's documentation maintains a list of alternative public endpoints.

Endpoints | Description
--- | ---
     - https://1.0.0.1/dns-query
     - https://1.1.1.1/dns-query
     - https://2606:4700:4700::1111/dns-query
     - https://2606:4700:4700::1001/dns-query
| Standard
     - https://security.cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query
| Standard, but blocks malware
     - https://family.cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query
| Standard, but blocks malware and porn
     - https://9.9.9.9/dns-query

## Usage

Start and enable `cloudflared@cloudflared.service`. Now you can use your device's IP address as a DNS server.

Tip: Use 1.1.1.1/help to check if browser is using Cloudflare DoH.
