Standard DNS queries operate over unencrypted UDP port 53. This allows ISPs, public Wi-Fi operators, and threat actors to inspect, log, and tamper with your domain resolution requests.

How DoH Encrypts Port 53 Traffic

DNS over HTTPS wraps DNS queries inside encrypted HTTPS sessions on TCP port 443. To network sniffers, your DNS lookups blend seamlessly with regular HTTPS Web traffic.

Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), Google (8.8.8.8), and Quad9 (9.9.9.9) support high-speed DoH resolution.
