DNSCrypt is a network protocol that authenticates and encrypts Domain Name System (DNS) traffic between the user's computer and recursive name servers.DNSCrypt wraps unmodified DNS traffic between a client and a DNS resolver in a cryptographic construction, preventing eavesdropping and forgery by a man-in-the-middle.
BIND, the most popular DNS name server (which includes dig), incorporates the newer DNSSEC-bis (DS records) protocol as well as support for NSEC3 records. Unbound is a DNS name server that was written from the ground up to be designed around DNSSEC concepts. mysqlBind, the GPL DNS management software for DNS ASPs, now supports DNSSEC.
dnsmasq caches DNS records, reducing the load on upstream nameservers and improving performance, and can be configured to automatically pick up the addresses of its upstream servers. dnsmasq accepts DNS queries and either answers them from a small, local cache or forwards them to a real, recursive DNS server.

Android clients running Android Pie or newer support DNS over TLS and will use it by default if the network infrastructure, for example the ISP, supports it. [13] [14]In April 2018, Google announced that Android Pie will include support for DNS over TLS, [15] allowing users to set a DNS server phone-wide on both Wi-Fi and mobile connections, an option that was historically only possible on ...
DNS zone transfer, also sometimes known by the inducing DNS query type AXFR, is a type of DNS transaction. It is one of the many mechanisms available for administrators to replicate DNS databases across a set of DNS servers .
DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is a protocol for performing remote Domain Name System (DNS) resolution via the HTTPS protocol. A goal of the method is to increase user privacy and security by preventing eavesdropping and manipulation of DNS data by man-in-the-middle attacks [1] by using the HTTPS protocol to encrypt the data between the DoH client and the DoH-based DNS resolver.
