  • Tabbed server browser with protocol filtering (All / DNS / DoH / DoT / DoQ / DoH3)
  • Search servers by name, address, or tag
  • Auto-ping with latency badges for all servers
  • Custom server support with per-protocol validation
  • Tag-based organization with chip input
  • Restore defaults to reset server list

• Network Management

If you are looking for a private, custom DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) endpoint to use with Better DNS Jumper's DoH feature, check out the cf-doh-worker repository.

This project is a very minimalist DoH proxy designed to run on Cloudflare Workers. It allows you to:

• Quickly deploy your own private, highly-available DoH server.
• Use a DoH endpoint under your own domain to potentially bypass restrictions on known public DoH providers.

You can then configure the URL of your deployed Cloudflare Worker as a custom DoH server within the Better DNS Jumper application.

Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/Ho3einWave/better-dns-jumper.git
cd better-dns-jumper
npm install    # or bun install
npm run tauri dev
npm run tauri build

Usage

1. Launch the app (admin required)
2. Select a network interface (or use Auto)
3. Choose a protocol tab: DNS, DoH, DoT, DoQ, or DoH3
4. Pick a server
5. Toggle Activate to apply
6. Optional tools: clear cache, reset DNS, test server latency

Technical Overview

• Frontend: React + TypeScript + Tailwind + HeroUI
• Backend: Rust (Tauri 2)
• DNS Engine: Hickory DNS (supports HTTPS, TLS, QUIC, and H3 resolvers)
• Windows Integration: IP Helper API + WMI
• Proxy Mode: Runs a local DNS proxy (127.0.0.2:53) that forwards queries to the selected encrypted DNS server (DoH/DoT/DoQ/DoH3)

Project structure:

src/             # React frontend
src-tauri/       # Rust backend

Roadmap

• Improved error handling
• Add support for GoodbyeDPI or zapret or dpibreak
• Clean exit & automatic DNS restore
• Better logs & in-app log viewer
• DNS-over-TLS / DNS-over-QUIC / DoH3
• DNS rules for blocking/redirecting traffic
• Server latency testing across all protocols
• Reduce WMI usage
• CLI support
• Multi-language support
• Syncable DNS profiles
