COREDNS-HTTPS3(7) CoreDNS Plugins COREDNS-HTTPS3(7)

NAME

https3 - configures DNS-over-HTTPS/3 (DoH3) server options.

DESCRIPTION

The https3 plugin allows you to configure parameters for the DNS-over-HTTPS/3 (DoH3) server to fine-tune the security posture and performance of the server. HTTPS/3 uses QUIC as the underlying transport.

This plugin can only be used once per HTTPS3 listener block.

SYNTAX

https3 {

max_streams POSITIVE_INTEGER }

max_streams limits the number of concurrent QUIC streams per connection. This helps prevent unbounded streams on a single connection, exhausting server resources. The default value is 256 if not specified. Set to 0 to use underlying QUIC transport default.

EXAMPLES

Set custom limits for maximum streams:

https3://.:443 {

tls cert.pem key.pem
https3 {
max_streams 50
}
whoami }

Set values to 0 for QUIC transport default, matching CoreDNS behaviour before v1.14.0:

https3://.:443 {

tls cert.pem key.pem
https3 {
max_streams 0
}
whoami }
