Anyway, are there plans for supporting DNS-over-HTTPS?
Hi Petr, A couple of years ago we created a policy regarding HTTP measurements on RIPE Atlas. The concern was that probe hosts located in certain countries could get into trouble should their probes try to reach certain HTTP targets. So it was decided at the time that since these measurements do not add much to the goal of RIPE Atlas, which is to measure the Internet as a network and not the higher level protocols that run on top of it, we restricted HTTP measurements such that they are only able to target RIPE Atlas anchors. Obviously there are benefits in measuring DNS-over-HTTPS. However, the risk for probe hosts in certain countries remains the same. For this reason, although we would be open to the creation of a new policy should there be sufficient interest from the community, there are no plans to support DNS-over-HTTPS until such a policy is in place.
