QuickStart

Host your DNS over HTTPS Server just by running ./Arashi.Aoi --upstream 127.0.0.1.

If you get Permission denied, run chmod +x ./Arashi.Aoi to grant execution permission.

OR using Docker. docker run -d -p 2020:2020 ghcr.io/mili-tan/arashidns.aoi --upstream 8.8.8.8

It is that easy. Use --help / -? to discover more parameters and get help information.

wget https://t.mili.one/arashia-linux-x64 -O /usr/bin/arashia
wget https://t.mili.one/arashia.service -O /etc/systemd/system/arashia@.service
chmod +x /usr/bin/arashia 
systemctl enable arashia@1.0.0.1 --now

PORT	Set the server listening port	2020
ARASHI_ANY	Set the server listening any address	true
ARASHI_VAR	Set start-up parameters (see above)	-u 127.0.0.1 -r 3
ARASHI_RUNNING_IN_CONTAINER	Manual setting is required only if the container is not identified	true

Run in Background

Windows

• Just double-click it, or run ./Arashi.Aoi.exe in Command Prompt or Powershell, and click the Minimize button.
• Use nssm to register ArashiDNS.Aoi as a service. It as a service will restart in the unexpected failure.

Linux

• Run nohup ./Arashi.Aoi --upstream 127.0.0.1 & or use screen. Despite being a dirty approach, it just works.
• Use supervisor, pm2, monit, gosuv, or systemd as process daemon and keeping ArashiDNS.Aoi running.

Protocol Compatibility

Google DNS over HTTPS Json API

When the ct parameter's application is not dns-message , and with a valid name parameter. ArashiDNS.Aoi provides Google JSON API for DNS over HTTPS (DoH) compatible protocol. Parameters are the same, but cd , do , random_padding are not implemented, they will be ignored.

IETF RFC-8484 DNS over HTTPS

ArashiDNS.Aoi provides complete IETF DNS-over-HTTPS (RFC 8484) Compatibility. The GET request needs to contain valid dns parameters.

Features

IPv6 Support

Full IPv6 support is available, but in many cases IPv4 is still preferred. You may need to force AAAA lookups or ipv6 server listening addresses.

EDNS-Client-Subnet

EDNS-Client-Subnet is enabled by default. Your upstream origin DNS server also needs to support EDNS-Client-Subnet for it to work. If your server is hosted in ECS or behind CDN, The request need to include X-Forwarded-For or X-Real-IP.

If you wish to disable it, please enter EDNS-Client-Subnet IP 0.0.0.0 in your client.
