About YogaDNS
YogaDNS runs on Windows and intercepts DNS requests from the system resolver and apps, so the DNS settings do not need changing by hand. It can send queries over plain DNS, DoH, DoH3, DoT, DoQ, DNSCrypt, Anonymized DNS and NextDNS. It also performs local DNSSEC validation over IPv4 and IPv6.
Rules based on hostname masks and hosts files decide which server handles each name. A rule can also route a lookup through a chosen network interface, such as a VPN connection for corporate domains. Query logging helps with troubleshooting and checking for DNS leaks.
