You can not point a DoH client to a DNS over TLS server or vice versa. That said there is no reason a DoH server could not be recursive or consult a traditional (probably recursive) resolver for its response. > I think the only benefit of DoH is that is unlikely to be blocked. Otherwise it feels more like a hack and at least i am not concerned about OSI models ;) Thanks for the response, but I'm still a little confused. If you live in the DoH stack you must stay there sure, but the same apparently applies to the DNS over TLS. What to you exactly is hacky about the DoH method if you don't care about the layering violations?
