NAME

       stubby - a local DNS Privacy stub resolver

SYNOPSIS

       stubby [-C file] [-ghilV] [-v loglevel]

DESCRIPTION

       stubby  acts as a local DNS Privacy stub resolver, using DNS-over-TLS. Stubby encrypts DNS
       queries sent from the local machine  to  a  DNS  Privacy  resolver,  increasing  end  user
       privacy.

       stubby is in the early stages of development but is suitable for technical/advanced users.

       stubby  provides  DNS  Privacy by running as a daemon that listens on the loopback address
       for DNS queries, and forwards those queries  out  over  TLS.   The  default  configuration
       provides  Strict  Privacy,  and  uses  a  subset  of  available  DNS  Privacy servers. See
       https://dnsprivacy.org/wiki/display/DP/DNS+Privacy+Test+Servers

OPTIONS

       -C file
              Read settings from the configuration file file. If this option is not given, stubby
              looks  for  a  configuration file at ~/.stubby.yml.  If this is not present, stubby
              falls back to the global configuration file /etc/stubby/stubby.yml.

       -g     Run stubby as a daemon.

       -h     Print a usage message and exit.

       -i     Read the configuration, validate the contents, pretty-print them  to  the  standard
              output and exit.

       -l     Enable all logging. Equivalent to -v 7.

       -v loglevel
              Enable  logging.  All logging messages at or below loglevel are printed to standard
              error:

              0: EMERG
                     The system is unusable

              1: ALERT
                     Action must be taken immediately

              2: CRIT
                     Critical conditions

              3: ERROR
                     Error conditions

              4: WARN
                     Warning conditions

              5: NOTICE
                     Normal, but significant, conditions

              6: INFO
                     Information messages

              7: DEBUG
                     Debug-level messages

       -V     Print the stubby version and exit.

       The configuration items are as follow. Some take constant values from the  getdns  library
       underlying  stubby  and  further  explanation  of  their values may be found in the getdns
       documentation or at http://www.getdnsapi.net

       resolution_type resolution.
              This must be set to GETDNS_RESOLUTION_STUB for historic reasons.  stubby will  exit
              with an error if any other setting is used.

       dns_transport_list list
              Set  the  list  of  transport types to be used. For DNS Privacy this must be set to
              GETDNS_TRANSPORT_TLS.  Clear   text   transports   are   GETDNS_TRANSPORT_TCP   and
              GETDNS_TRANSPORT_UDP

       tls_authentication type
              Set  the type of authentication required. For Strict Privacy, this should be set to
              GETDNS_AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED. For Opportunistic mode, remove this setting or  set
              to   GETDNS_AUTHENTICATION_NONE.   In  Opportunistic  mode  authentication  of  the
              nameserver is not required and fallback to clear text transports  is  permitted  if
              they are in dns_transport_list

       tls_query_padding_blocksize blocksize
              Use the EDNS0 padding option to pad DNS queries to hide their size.

       edns_client_subnet_private 0 or 1
              If  1,  use  EDNS0  Client  Subnet  privacy  so  the  client s ubnet is not sent to
              authoritative servers.

       idle_timeout timeout
              Use an EDNS0 Keepalive idle timeout of timeout milliseconds  unless  overridden  by
              the server. This keeps idle TLS connections open to avoid the overhead of opening a
              new connection for every query.

       round_robin_upstreams 0 or 1
              If 1, round robin queries across all the configured upstream servers. Without  this
              option  stubby  will  use  each  upstream  server  sequentially  until  it  becomes
              unavailable and then move on to use the next.

       upstream_recursive_servers server list
              Specify the upstream servers that stubby is to use. Each item in the list  contains
              the following items:

              address_data address
                     IPv4 or IPv6 address of the server.

              tls_auth_name name
                     This  is  the  authentication  domain name that will be verified against the
                     presented certificate.

              tls_pubkey_pinset pinset
                     The sha256 SPKI pinset for the server. This is  also  verified  against  the
                     presented certificate. This contains two items:

                     digest type
                            The type of the key digest.

                     value keyval
                            The key value.
