ECH-Enabled DNS is Live

Your DNS deservesEncrypted Client Hello

ECH Shield is the next-generation DNS provider with full Encrypted Client Hello support. Stop ISPs and network observers from seeing which sites you visit — even during the TLS handshake.

// How ECH Works

The last gap in TLS encryption, finally closed.

Standard TLS encrypts your data — but leaks which server you're connecting to via the SNI field. ECH encrypts the entire ClientHello message, hiding even the destination hostname.

WITHOUT ECH

SNI Exposed

Network observers can see exactly which website you're visiting.

ClientHello:
  SNI: private-site.com
  ALPN: h2, http/1.1
  Cipher: TLS_AES_256_GCM
WITH ECH

SNI Encrypted

The real destination is hidden inside the encrypted inner ClientHello.

ClientHello (Outer):
  SNI: public-facing.cdn.net
  ECH: [encrypted_payload]
  Inner SNI: ████████████

1. Client Queries DNS

Browser fetches HTTPS DNS record containing ECH public keys.

2. ECH Shield DNS Responds

Our DNS returns HTTPS records with fresh ECH configurations and HPKE keys.

3. ClientHello Encrypted

Browser encrypts the real SNI inside the ClientHello using ECH public key.

4. Secure Connection

Server decrypts inner ClientHello. Full TLS session with zero SNI leakage.

// Core Features

Enterprise-grade privacy, zero-config setup.

Everything you need to deploy ECH-enabled DNS across your infrastructure.

Full ECH Support

HTTPS DNS records with ECHConfig, automatic key rotation, and HPKE cipher suite management.

< 10ms Latency

Global anycast network with 300+ PoPs ensures DNS resolution in under 10ms worldwide.

DoH / DoT / DoQ

DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS, and DNS-over-QUIC. Your queries are encrypted end-to-end.

DNSSEC Validated

Full DNSSEC validation ensures DNS responses haven't been tampered with.

Zero-Log Policy

We don't log your queries. Period. Independently audited by third-party security firms.

Threat Intelligence

Real-time malware, phishing, and C2 domain blocking powered by updated threat feeds.

// Secure Proxy

L7 DDoS Protection & WAF built in.

ECH Shield isn't just DNS — it's a full security proxy layer. Our edge network inspects and filters malicious traffic at Layer 7, protecting your origin from application-level attacks before they ever reach your server.

L7 DDoS Mitigation

Advanced rate limiting, challenge pages, and behavioral analysis block HTTP floods, slowloris, and application-layer attacks in real time. Handles volumetric attacks up to multi-Tbps.

HTTP FloodSlowlorisMulti-TbpsRate Limiting

Web Application Firewall

OWASP Top 10 ruleset, custom WAF rules, bot management, and request inspection. Block SQL injection, XSS, path traversal, and zero-day exploits at the edge.

Reverse Proxy with ECH

All traffic is proxied through our encrypted edge. Origin IP stays hidden, TLS is terminated with ECH support, and responses are optimized with caching and compression.

Korean ISP Bypass

SKT, KT, and LG U+ implement SNI-based filtering to block specific domains. ECH Shield encrypts the SNI field completely, making it impossible for Korean ISPs to identify and block your destination — restoring full access transparently.

What security professionals say.

“ECH Shield eliminated the last plaintext metadata leak in our network. The automated ECHConfig key rotation alone is worth switching for.”

JK
James Kim
CISO, FinTech Corp

“We migrated 200+ domains. Setup was 5 minutes per domain, and ECH negotiated correctly on every endpoint.”

SP
Sarah Park
Security Engineer, CloudSec

“ECH + DoH + DNSSEC means our entire DNS pipeline is cryptographically verified. This is modern DNS.”

// FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

ECH is a TLS extension that encrypts the ClientHello message during the TLS handshake, preventing network observers from seeing which website you’re connecting to via the SNI field. It uses HPKE with keys published in DNS HTTPS records.
ECH Shield is purpose-built as an ECH-first DNS provider with automatic key distribution, advanced ECH analytics, and fully independent privacy infrastructure. We also support DoQ for the fastest encrypted DNS.
Chrome (v117+), Firefox (v118+), and Edge (v117+) support ECH natively. Safari has experimental support. Both client and server must support it with keys published via DNS HTTPS records.
ECH prevents SNI-based filtering. Combined with encrypted DNS (DoH/DoT), it blocks DNS-based censorship too. ECH Shield provides both layers.
Negligible. ECH adds < 0.5ms to the handshake. Our anycast network means most users see no measurable difference.
