DNS over HTTPS (DoH) / Encrypt DNS

Apparently firefox has option where encrypted dns can help you secure your dns queries and thus open sites blocked by ISPs. ( esni + network.trr.mode )
Even opera added it recently [blogs.opera.com]

Remember when we had a Tunlr DNS plugin here @ FRD using which we could open sites which were geo blocked?
[wordrider.net]

I was wondering if FRD can be made to support such encrypted DNS?

I guess it's possible to use secured DNS with current version but it requires a little bit of experimenting and testing. It's just a theory . I have no experience with that.

The point is to forward all DNS requests to the proxy this way:

FRD <===> DNS Proxy <===> Secured DNS server

Step 1 - use local instance of JDnsProxy
- Launch and configure [github.com]
- run it locally on ip 127.0.0.1

Step 2 - override DNS resolver in Java App (FRD is a Java app)
- Use Java 8
- add property

-Dsun.net.spi.nameservice.nameservers=127.0.0.1

to the

startup.properties

file
The property is described here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11647629/how-to-configure-hostname-resolution-to-use-a-custom-dns-server-in-java
and here:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/net/properties.html

Alternatively to Step 2 you can override DNS resolving to the 127.0.0.1 on your OS you are using. App will use that as default.

Interesting
Lets see what other devs have to say.

Since cloudflare isn't gonna change its ip (1.1.1.1)
I was hoping that we somehow make this change permanent in the main app itself
