[clamav-users] How to determine virus database version from behind proxy?

[Eric Tykwinski]

Just as a side note now that I’m back to a desktop, I did run FB’s implementation of DoH.  It was strictly test based, so not under load, but it did work locally for about 10 PCs: https://github.com/facebookexperimental/doh-proxy <https://github.com/facebookexperimental/doh-proxy>

Sadly, I don’t know of really any local DoH resolvers that can be used to scale, and I honestly don’t think it’ll last as long as I think most people think it will.

Sincerely,
