Hi, to see whether kresd 4.0.0 would do a comparable or better job than doh-httpproxy we analyzed failure rates by looking at HTTP response codes for each setup and found some significant differences for HTTP response code 400: sample size: 1 000 000 HTTP requests for each run HTTP Code [1] [2] [3] -------------------------------- 200 93.96 97.04 96.33 499 3.28 2.45 3.11 400 2.07 0.18 0.22 <<< 415 0.68 0.32 0.34 408 0.002 0.002 0.002 413 0.001 0 0 Numbers show percent. setups: [1] nginx -> (http, no tls) kresd [2] nginx -> (http, no tls) doh-httpproxy -> (udp/53) unbound To reduce the likelihood of measuring unrelated issues (like issues caused by qname minimization differences between unbound and kresd) we also used kresd as DNS resolver without touching its DoH code path: [3] nginx -> (http, no tls) doh-httpproxy -> (udp/53) kresd The HTTP request rate for [1] was slightly lower when compared with [2] and [3]. To be more precise, doh-httproxy services was configured with two running instances as described here: https://facebookexperimental.github.io/doh-proxy/tutorials/nginx-dohhttppro… version information: kresd 4.0.0 nginx 1.14.2 unbound 1.9.0 https://github.com/facebookexperimental/doh-proxy @ 9f943a4c232bd018ae155b7839a6b4e13181a5fd This information on its own is not very useful but it might help motivate further tests in a test-environment with no real end-user traffic that allows for more verbose logging. We would also like to hear from other kresd DoH adopters if they observe similar failure rates on their setups. Some open questions for further tests: - How reproducible are these results? - Does the HTTP method (GET vs. POST) change the error rate? - Can the error rate be reduced by running multiple kresd backends? (nginx sending requests to two kresd bakcends) - Is the DNS transaction ID of always 0 as per RFC8484 an issue when kresd is not also terminating the initial HTTPS connection from the DoH client? (from a backend's perspective two distinct queries might look identical when a reverse proxy sits between the DoH client and kresd) regards, Christoph

trying to use resolver on lan

by B. Cook

I'm new to knot resolver (krsed). Running kresd in runit and logging via svlogd. I'm trying to run kresd on a lan with internal ip addresses and internal domains. I can currently do this with dnsmasq and unbound, but I wanted to see how kresd would do on the client facing edge. I have an Active Directory domain which I've inherited (domain.local) and I've made a building.domain dns infrastructure for the different buildings. (building-red.domain, building-orange.domain, building-green.domain, etc..) There were two AD dns servers doing all the DNS.. There is now a pihole server and dnsmasq helping to offset the queries. I'm looking to put up a kresd on the :53 and move the current dnsmasq installs to :57 and have kresd forward to them. When I do this my building.domain and domain.local are not resolvable. What am I missing? Unbound has a private-address and private-domain which handles this. Does knot resolver have something similar? egrep -v "\-\-" /etc/knot-resolver/config <code> net.listen('10.20.0.43', 53) trust_anchors.remove('.') modules = { 'policy', 'stats', 'predict' } cache.size = 100*MB cache.storage = 'lmdb:///var/cache/knot-resolver/' user( 'knot-resolver', 'knot-resolver' ) predict.config({ window = 20, period = 72 }) policy.add( policy.all( policy.FORWARD( { '10.20.0.43@57', '10.20.0.53@57' } ))) </code> Below is an excerpt from the kresd logs captured via svlogd showing the nxdomain return.. 2019-05-22_18:19:53.06750 [00000.00][plan] plan 'squid.tech.pcsd.' type 'A' uid [35568.00] 2019-05-22_18:19:53.06756 [35568.00][iter] 'squid.tech.pcsd.' type 'A' new uid was assigned .01, parent uid .00 2019-05-22_18:19:53.06758 [35568.01][cach] => trying zone: ., NSEC, hash 0 2019-05-22_18:19:53.06759 [35568.01][cach] => NSEC sname: covered by: pccw. -> pe., new TTL 83379 2019-05-22_18:19:53.06760 [35568.01][cach] => NSEC wildcard: covered by: . -> aaa., new TTL 84454 2019-05-22_18:19:53.06761 [35568.01][cach] => writing RRsets: +++ 2019-05-22_18:19:53.06762 [35568.01][iter] <= rcode: NXDOMAIN 2019-05-22_18:19:53.06768 [35568.01][resl] AD: request NOT classified as SECURE 2019-05-22_18:19:53.06773 [35568.01][resl] finished: 0, queries: 1, mempool: 16400 B and this is another request that worked successfully 2019-05-22_18:19:53.07382 [00000.00][plan] plan 'r6---sn-8xgp1vo-2iae.googlevideo.com.' type 'A' uid [24882.00] 2019-05-22_18:19:53.07384 [24882.00][iter] 'r6---sn-8xgp1vo-2iae.googlevideo.com.' type 'A' new uid was assigned .01, parent uid .00 2019-05-22_18:19:53.07388 [24882.01][cach] => skipping unfit CNAME RR: rank 020, new TTL -144 2019-05-22_18:19:53.07389 [24882.01][cach] => no NSEC* cached for zone: googlevideo.com. 2019-05-22_18:19:53.07389 [24882.01][cach] => skipping zone: googlevideo.com., NSEC, hash 0;new TTL -123456789, ret -2 2019-05-22_18:19:53.07389 [24882.01][cach] => skipping zone: googlevideo.com., NSEC, hash 0;new TTL -123456789, ret -2 2019-05-22_18:19:53.07390 [ ][nsre] score 21 for 10.20.0.43#00057; cached RTT: 19 2019-05-22_18:19:53.07391 [ ][nsre] score 40001 for 10.20.0.53#00057; cached RTT: 12666 2019-05-22_18:19:53.07391 [24882.01][resl] => id: '07414' querying: '10.20.0.43#00057' score: 21 zone cut: '.' qname: 'R6---sN-8Xgp1VO-2iae.goOgLeVIDeO.CoM.' qtype: 'A' proto: 'udp' here is dig showing that the entry does exist.. ; <<>> DiG 9.14.2 <<>> @10.20.0.43 -p 53 -t any squid.tech.pcsd ; (1 server found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 17967 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;squid.tech.pcsd.

public nic.cz DoH service using lua-http (was: TLS misconfiguration on odvr.nic.cz (DoH))

(I'm including the mailing list so others can benefit from this discussion as well since we had the proxy/no-proxy topic there before) Vaclav Steiner wrote: > Our KRESd daemons are configured with lua-http module for DoH, not anz reverse proxy.

cache filesystem size and setting a cache size limit

by Christoph

Hi, how big should the cache filesystem (tmpfs) be relative to the cache.size? If cache.size is N MB is N + 50 MB a fine value? I'm asking because apparently 50 MB additional space is not enough: > SIGBUS received; this is most likely due to filling up the filesystem where cache resides. https://knot-resolver.readthedocs.io/en/stable/daemon.html#envvar-cache.size writes: > Note that this is only a hint to the backend, which may or may not respect it. See cache.open(). If cache.size does not set a maximum size maybe remove "Set the cache maximum size in bytes." from its documentation? :) Does that mean I have to use cache.open() as well to enforce a limit or is "max_size" also just a hint that is not respected/enforced? If so: is there a way to enforce a max_size for the cache? thanks, Christoph

OpenBuild Service package repositories update

by Tomas Krizek

Hi, I have a quick update about the upstream package repositories in OpenBuild Service (OBS). New repositories ---------------- - Fedora_30 - x86_64, armv7l - xUbuntu_19.04 - x86_64 - Debian_Next - x86_64 (Debian unstable rolling release) New repositories for Debian 10 and CentOS 8 should be available shortly after these distros are released, depending on their buildroot availability in OBS. Deprecated repositories ----------------------- - Arch - x86_64 Due to many issues with Arch packaging in OBS (invalid package size, incorrect signatures) and the fast pace of Arch updates, please consider this repository deprecated in favor of the AUR package [1] that I keep up-to-date. The Arch OBS repository will most likely be removed in the future. Also, please note I'll be periodically deleting repositories for distros that reach their official end of life. In the coming months, this concerns Ubuntu 18.10 and Fedora 28. [1] - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/knot-resolver/ -- Tomas Krizek PGP: 4A8B A48C 2AED 933B D495 C509 A1FB A5F7 EF8C 4869

segfault when prefill file (RFC7706) is empty

by Christoph

Hello! This occurs if for some reason the prefill file happens to be empty: kresd[11812]: [prefill] root zone file valid for 17 hours 01 minutes, reusing data from disk kresd[11812]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f9b06017436 sp 00007ffc3142bb58 error 4 in libc-2.28.so[7f9b05fa1000+148000] Apr 30 20:26:13 scruffy kernel: Code: 0f 1f 40 00 66 0f ef c0 66 0f ef c9 66 0f ef d2 66 0f ef db 48 89 f8 48 89 f9 48 81 e1 ff 0f 00 00 48 81 f9 cf 0f 00 00 77 6a <f3> 0f 6f 20 66 0f 74 e0 66 0f d7 d4 85 d2 74 04 0f bc c2 c3 48 83 This happens in a loop until systemd gives up trying to start kresd.
