.SH "NAME"
\fItls\fR \- allows you to configure the server certificates for the TLS and gRPC servers\.
.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
CoreDNS supports queries that are encrypted using TLS (DNS over Transport Layer Security, RFC 7858) or are using gRPC (https://grpc\.io/, not an IETF standard)\. Normally DNS traffic isn\'t encrypted at all (DNSSEC only signs resource records)\.
.
.P
The \fItls\fR "plugin" allows you to configure the cryptographic keys that are needed for both DNS\-over\-TLS and DNS\-over\-gRPC\. If the \fBtls\fR directive is omitted, then no encryption takes place\.
.
.P
The gRPC protobuffer is defined in \fBpb/dns\.proto\fR\. It defines the proto as a simple wrapper for the wire data of a DNS message\.
.
.SH "SYNTAX"
.
.nf
tls CERT KEY [CA]
.
.fi
.
.P
Parameter CA is optional\. If not set, system CAs can be used to verify the client certificate
.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
Start a DNS\-over\-TLS server that picks up incoming DNS\-over\-TLS queries on port 5553 and uses the nameservers defined in \fB/etc/resolv\.conf\fR to resolve the query\. This proxy path uses plain old DNS\.
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
tls://\.:5553 {
tls cert\.pem key\.pem ca\.pem
forward \. /etc/resolv\.conf
}
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
Start a DNS\-over\-gRPC server that is similar to the previous example, but using DNS\-over\-gRPC for incoming queries\.
.
.IP "" 4
.
.nf
grpc://\. {
tls cert\.pem key\.pem ca\.pem
forward \. /etc/resolv\.conf
}
.
.fi
.
.IP "" 0
.
.P
Only Knot DNS\' \fBkdig\fR supports DNS\-over\-TLS queries, no command line client supports gRPC making debugging these transports harder than it should be\.
.
.SH "ALSO SEE"
RFC 7858 and https://grpc\.io\.
