v.recipes is a collection of networking and development experiments operated by the small Jakarta, Indonesia-based team PT VRECIPES AMANAH SEMESTA. Its core product is a privacy-first DNS-over-HTTPS resolution service. It evolved from a DoH proxy experiment on Cloudflare Workers and targets personal devices, home networks, small businesses, enterprises, and ISP use cases, emphasizing encrypted DNS resolution, no query logs, global Anycast, caching, and congestion resistance.
Its DNS service is entirely DoH-based and claims support for HTTP/3. Architecturally, it relies on Cloudflareβs global Anycast network of 300+ data centers, using BGP to route users to the nearest PoP. Caching is divided into three layers: data-center L1, global L2, and upstream L3. The documentation says most deployments can achieve a cache hit rate above 90%. Per-request pacing uses a token bucket mechanism to control the rate of queries forwarded upstream, helping avoid QPS limits imposed by public DNS providers such as Google. The service also offers lightweight ML capabilities for malicious-domain detection, predictive prefetching, and pacing-parameter tuning.
v.recipes provides multiple endpoints: default unfiltered DNS, Security filtering for malware/phishing, Adblock for ad blocking, ECS Optimized, CN Optimized for users in China, DNS64, Accelerator for using your own DoH upstream, and Multiqueue, which queries multiple upstreams and returns the fastest result. Its upstream ecosystem includes Cloudflare, Google DNS, Control D, DOH.SB, and others. It is not a traditional SDK-style developer tool; integration is mainly done through standard DoH URLs configured in operating systems, routers, or applications.
The crawled content does not disclose pricing, payment methods, enterprise plans, or SLA details, nor does it state whether the project is open source. Documentation quality is relatively good, with clear explanations of privacy, caching, Anycast, pacing, and the purpose of each endpoint, as well as domain migration notes. However, details on monetization, support levels, self-hosting, and compliance are insufficient.
Its strengths are clear privacy commitments, a rich set of endpoints, and purpose-built designs for high-concurrency and restricted-network scenarios. Its drawbacks are heavy reliance on Cloudflare and third-party upstream resolvers, along with a lack of information on open source status, self-hosting, pricing, and service guarantees. It is suitable for users and network administrators who care about DNS privacy and need DoH, ad/security filtering, IPv6-only DNS64, or multi-upstream acceleration.
The documentation explicitly provides CN Optimized and says it uses upstreams in Hong Kong and is recommended for users in mainland China. However, it does not provide real-world mainland availability tests, stability data, or ICP filing information, so access from China should be considered βunknown.β Alternatives include Cloudflare 1.1.1.1, Google Public DNS, AdGuard DNS, Control D, Quad9, DOH.SB, and others.
