DNS over HTTPS with cloudflared on macOS

The instructions on Cloudflare's website are confusing and incomplete.

  1. Install cloudflared:

     brew install cloudflare/cloudflare/cloudflared

  2. Create the configuration file:

     mkdir /usr/local/etc/cloudflared/ && vim /usr/local/etc/cloudflared/config.yml

  3. With the contents:

     proxy-dns: true
 proxy-dns-upstream:
   - https://1.1.1.1/dns-query
   - https://1.0.0.1/dns-query

  4. Enable on system boot:

     sudo cloudflared service install

  5. Start the service:

     sudo launchctl start com.cloudflare.cloudflared

  6. Test with dig:

     dig @127.0.0.1 google.com A

  7. Change your dns settings to point to 127.0.0.1:

     sudo networksetup -setdnsservers Wi-Fi 127.0.0.1
