 .SH DESCRIPTION
-dnss is a daemon that can encapsulate DNS over HTTPS.
+dnss is a daemon for using DNS over HTTPS.
 
-It can act as a DNS-to-HTTPS proxy, using https://dns.google.com as a server
-or anything implementing the same API.
+It can act as a proxy, receiving DNS requests and resolving them using
+DNS-over-HTTPs (DoH). This can be useful to improve DNS security and privacy
+on laptops and small/home networks.
 
-It can also act as an HTTPS-to-DNS proxy, implementing the same HTTP API; you
-can use this instead of https://dns.google.com if you want more control over
-the servers and the final DNS server used (for example if you are in an
-isolated environment, such as a test lab or a private network).
+It can also act as a DoH server, in case you want end to end control.
 
 In the default mode of operation, it listens for DNS requests on port 53, and
-will query an HTTPS server (https://dns.google.com by default) to resolve
-them.
+will query a DNS-over-HTTP server (dns.google by default) to resolve them.
