What is Stubby?

Stubby is an application that acts as a local DNS Privacy stub resolver (using DNS-over-TLS). Stubby encrypts DNS queries sent from a client machine (desktop or laptop) to a DNS Privacy resolver increasing end user privacy. Stubby is in the early stages of development but is suitable for technical/advanced users. A more generally user-friendly version is on the way!

Stubby provides DNS Privacy by:

  • Running as a daemon
  • Listening on the loopback address to send all outgoing DNS queries received on that address out over TLS
  • Using a default configuration which provides Strict Privacy and uses a subset of the available DNS Privacy servers
