Warda-DNS Warda: from ward — to protect, guardian
v0.9.10

Browsers with their own secure DNS

Chrome, Edge, Brave and Firefox can ask their names over HTTPS to a provider of their choice (DoH). They then go around Warda, and the block page does not show.

01Give it the address of Warda

Once the certificate of Network → DNS services is there, the page shows the DoH address of your box (https://xxxxxxxxxx.warda-dns.net/dns-query):

  • Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → DNS over HTTPS → Max Protection → Choose provider → Custom, then the address.
  • Chrome, Edge, Brave: Settings → Privacy and security → Security → Use secure DNS → Custom (Edge: Enter custom provider), then the same address.

02Or turn it off

Without a custom provider, turn the secure DNS of the browser off: it then asks the DNS of the system, Warda. Firefox asks a test name before turning its DoH on by itself; Warda answers it so that Firefox keeps the DNS of the network.

03What stays

Only the browser is covered: the other applications use the DNS of the network. The known DoH services are blocked for the children and teenagers; for a device that asks another resolver directly, only a rule of the router closes the way.
