Operation Modes#

DOHzel Proxy supports three operation modes:

• DNS2eDOH: Default mode where requests are filtered and resolved by Hafnova. Requests are encrypted using TLS + DOH. Recommended for most use cases.
• DNS2iDOH: Requests are filtered by DOHzel but resolved by your preferred DOH server (e.g., Quad9).
• DNS2DNS: Similar to DNS2iDOH, but requests use the DNS protocol instead of DOH, sacrificing encryption for simpler integration with existing DNS infrastructure.

You can change the operation mode at any time without restarting the service using:
