All that does is block DoH entirely, right? Not allow me to say “use this DoH server” or “don’t use DoH for this domain.”


Here are the instructions to do it, straight from Mozilla: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-dns-over-https#...


On Windows, you can probably do this via GPOs. How does one configure a fleet of Mac or Linux machines? How does one do it with BYOD or on a campus of students' machines?

Perhaps some thought as to service discovery should have been done:

* https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6763

If Mozilla is going to re-invent the wheel (OSes already do DNS look ups), they perhaps should have asked the DNS folks (e.g., DNS-OARC) about some of the corner/use cases IMHO.


I think if you want to get that detailed you'd be pushing a custom managed Firefox profile.


You have twenty different applications using DoH for “increased security” and you need a custom profile for each? Why not a single line in resolv_doh.conf?


What local resolver supports resolv_doh.conf at this time?

At the moment, Mozilla wants to push this for users where DoH just works, for people it doesn't providing options to disable it.

Once resolv_doh.conf becomes a thing for all platforms (Linux, OSX and Windows) they can use that.
