doggo is a modern DNS client written in Go with support for encrypted DNS protocols. It provides a user-friendly interface with colorized output and multiple output formats.
The tool supports standard DNS, DNS over HTTPS (DoH), DNS over TLS (DoT), DNS over QUIC (DoQ), and DNSCrypt. This flexibility allows secure DNS queries to privacy-focused resolvers.
