Available Resolver Options
- EcoVPN Node Resolver: Private DNS endpoint tied to your tunnel jurisdiction
- Third-Party DNS: Sponsor-approved options such as Quad9, Cloudflare, or encrypted custom resolver
- Self-Hosted DNS: Tier 3 deployment - host your own resolver inside EcoVPN infrastructure
DNS Protocols Supported
- DoT (DNS-over-TLS): TLS 1.3 handshake, endpoint validation, encrypted port 853
- DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS): Encrypted HTTP/2 tunneling with endpoint trust alignment
- Legacy DNS Blocking: Hostile endpoint suppression via tunnel filtering rules
Configuring DNS Settings
- Edit your `.conf` file to reflect desired resolver IP or DoH URI
- Ensure domain resolution occurs inside the tunnel - avoid local system leaks
- Use sponsor-provided resolver list for enhanced privacy scoring
Best Practices
- Use only encrypted resolvers - never public UDP DNS
- Verify resolver behaviour using tools like
dig,drill, ordnsleaktest.com - Request Tier 2 or 3 deployment if your resolver needs custom filtering logic
