There are lots of Open Source projects that will do what you are asking. Here is the first top hit on using bind to do that - https://github.com/wrouesnel/dns-over-https-proxy

However I disagree that it is a bad idea and that the implementation is bad. Regardless of how software _should_ behave, Firefox operates in how software is actually run for their users. DNS is a source of security vulnerabilities and headaches.

Demanding a higher level abstraction is not always an option for many, but using Firefox often is. This is especially important for mobile, where a lot of people don't have access or knowledge to set in place a system wide proxy after rooting their phones, but it is very easy to install Firefox mobile.

What about web browser usage on library or campus computers? Often they will have several browsers installed as well.

The point is that making security more available and easier to use where it matters most is a good idea.

I just spent some time searching, and I actually don't see much in the way of clients. Most search results seem to be talking about how wizz-bang dns-over-https is, or talking about firefox's implementation.

If you know of a DNS over HTTPS client for Windows, please link it!
