      BACKGROUND

      I've been trying to get DNS over TLS to work with OpenDNS, and wanted someone to confirm my configuration.

      • OpenDNS supports DNSCrypt via ports 53, 5353, and 443
      • Already have OpenDNS servers configured under General Settings and disable ISP override
      • DNS Resolver running.
      • Enabled SSL/TLS for outgoing DNS Queries to Forwarding Servers
      • Added the following custom settings to force use of 443 vs default 853
      forward-zone:
          name: "." 
          forward-addr: 208.67.222.222@443
          forward-addr: 208.67.220.220@443
      
      • Confirmed with packet capture WAN side DNS queries to OpenDNS are over port 443

      QUESTION

      Do I have it configured correctly?

        UPDATE

        Apparently OpenDNS is using a different encryption library.
