dnsproxy-resolvconf

A systemd service for AdguardTeam/dnsproxy to provide DNS.

This is for Linux systems installed with the resolvconf package to modify the /etc/resolv.conf file.

The adguard-dnsproxy-setup.service uses an argument of linux-amd64 in its ExecStart line.

Refer to assets in AdguardTeam/dnsproxy Releases for other OS architectures.

Examples:

• linux-386 for i386 / x86
• linux-arm64 for aarch64 / arm64
• linux-arm6 for armv6l / armhf

Install

After cloning this repository, run the command below to download and start up this DNS proxy server.

make

Using sudo is optional since the Makefile already checks for admin access.

Admin access is need to be permitted to bind IP addresses for listening.

If you want to run the exact targets, run make install start.

If you are not in the dnsproxy-systemd git directory, you may run make -C dnsproxy-systemd if you have cloned into the current directory.

Customization

The Makefile has 2 variables to customize, BINDIR and CONFDIR.

make BINDIR=/opt/adguard CONFDIR=/etc/adguard

If you change their values, be sure the chosen directory is root-owned.

Due to certain file conflicts, /etc and /usr/sbin are some of the directories not allowed.

dnsproxy.yml file

Refer to the options in Adguard/dnsproxy main.go for yaml configuration.

The listen-addrs option is required.

Make sure adguard-dnsproxy.service is stopped when editing this option.

Make sure any IP addresses in this option are not already used on port 53.

Check for IP address on port 53 with ss, netstat or lsof.

sudo ss -tnlp | grep :53

sudo netstat -tnlp | grep :53

sudo lsof -Pni:53 -sTCP:LISTEN

UDP Receive Buffer Size

Linux and BSD may encounter errors for any QUIC or UDP transfers, especially DNS over QUIC.

This is solved by setting the maximum buffer sizes to a high enough level.

It can be done by using sysctl -w or permanently by adding a new file to the sysctl directory.

Linux

Temporarily

sudo sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=7864320
sudo sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=7864320

Permanently

sudo sh -c 'printf "# Maximum send buffer size\nnet.core.wmem_max=7864320\n# Maximum receive buffer size\nnet.core.rmem_max=7864320" > /etc/sysctl.d/10-max-buffer-size.conf'

BSD

Temporarily

su -c 'sysctl -w kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=8441037'

Permanently

su -c 'printf "# Maximum socket buffer\nkern.ipc.maxsockbuf=8441037" > /etc/sysctl.kld.d/10-max-socket-buffer.conf'
