Cloudflare Tunnel: proxy-dns Command Removal 2026 | What are some nice alternatives to encrypted DNS? (mwpro.co.uk)

Hi everyone,

I have been using cloudflared for DNS-over-HTTPS for the past 5 years and it's been working pretty well. One of the reasons for using it was because my ISP was hijacking my DNS queries and changing it to their own DNS server.

However, I saw this news where the proxy-dns feature in cloudflared is being closed and they are asking customers to shift to their WARP client instead.

I want to know what the community is using for encrypted DNS services (DoH, DoT, DoQ)

Thanks :)

I have seen this project popping up quite a bit. It seems like this natively supports a lot of encrypted DNS protocols, unlike Pihole. Looks very nice.

Technitium is very powerful and could perfectly handle being a DNS forwarder + DHCP provider for your LAN, replacing both Pihole + cloudflared. Though it does many other things too, which can make the UI overwhelming for starters. But in my opinion if you'd like to fine-tune a lot of things like cache and custom DNS logic (via installable applets), this would be the software for you

Edit: If you want something simpler to replace Pihole + cloudflared, AdGuard Home is pretty good too. It uses dnsproxy under the hood and has a nice UI

For the upstream provider I guess Quad9 is popular enough to give you fairly good geolocated IPs, but also has some sense of privacy. The main thing is to always validate your andwers with DNSSEC as to detect and refuse any DNS tampering attempts

I was checking the feature list of Technitium and it's a bit ... overwhelming. I may shift to it one day but I need to study it first :P

Pihole is fine for the time being.
