Due to the deprecation of dns over https using cloudfalreD. and setting this to the upstream resolver for PiHole.
is it possible to add more ways to have an upstream resolver in pihole? I.E
A DoT/DoH endpoint, that uses a URL rather than an IP?
I understand using dnscrypt there is still a workaround. However having this nativley in pihole would be incredible, especially if in the GUI.
This is likely not possible as dnsmasq, on which Pi-hole is built, does not currently support DoT/DoH (to the best of my knowledge). It is strictly a classic, DNS resolver.

This appears to be a duplicate of this request:
Hi.
Is there any plan to implement a native support of DNS-over-HTTPS (DOH)? I tried to set-up Cloudflared on Docker with a VLAN and it seems to work but I am not so sure of my installation because it is sometimes “unhealthy” and my skills are too limited to fix it properly.
It would be a great simplification if there were a native support as on AdGuard Home.
Thanks.
