In February 2026, delivered a security-driven removal and deprecation of the DNS proxy feature (proxy-dns) in cloudflared. The work eliminates the DoH proxy built on CoreDNS, removing the standalone proxy-dns command, tunnel proxy-dns subcommand, related flags, config resolver support, the tunneldns package, and associated tests. Enhanced deprecation messaging now includes a link to the deprecation announcement and a recommended alternative DNS-over-HTTPS client. This change shipped as part of release 2026.2.0 and reflects a deliberate effort to reduce attack surface and simplify maintenance. The work aligns with addressing security vulnerabilities (GO-2025-3942, GO-2026-4289) and provides clear migration guidance for users to adopt supported DoH solutions. Commit activity highlights the deprecation messaging improvements and the feature removal across the codebase.
