Some people want to use DoH from within a browser. If that gets popular,
it could be that many webservers would also have DoH endpoints.

In any case, for now that might be a sensible solution. Some time ago it
was proposed that the MAT working group would handle policy proposals
for Atlas. So, whoever wants to make the effort to push the policy
proposal through, please contact the chairs of the MAT wg on how they
would like to handle this.

Hi,

Would it be possible for your servers to first verify whether a DOH address
is really a DNS before running actual atlas tests? If you can do it from an
IP address that also hosts a web page that explains the purpose of the
test, anyone investigating traffic coming to them is easily informed.

Thanks,
Dave

recommends at least HTTP/2. Currently there is no support for HTTP/2 in
the Atlas measurement code.

The bigger problem however is that there is a policy for RIPE Atlas to
not allow http requests to arbitrary destinations. The reasoning is that
connecting to certain webservers from certain countries could bring
trouble to the probe hosts.

Of course policies are not set in stone. However, nobody has come up
with a better policy proposal.

Note that Atlas does support DNS over TLS.



[atlas] Feature request DNS DoH measurement

2020-05-20 Thread Yang Yu
Hi,

As DoH is getting more adoption, it would be interesting to have DoH
query support on Atlas. With support added as an additional protocol
for DNS measurement (currently TCP/UDP), most measurement
creation/result parsing settings can be reused.
