# timeouts
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Name
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*timeouts* - allows you to configure the server read, write and idle timeouts for the TCP, TLS and DoH servers.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Description
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
CoreDNS is configured with sensible timeouts for server connections by default.
 | 
						|
However in some cases for example where CoreDNS is serving over a slow mobile
 | 
						|
data connection the default timeouts are not optimal.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Additionally some routers hold open connections when using DNS over TLS or DNS
 | 
						|
over HTTPS. Allowing a longer idle timeout helps performance and reduces issues
 | 
						|
with such routers.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The *timeouts* "plugin" allows you to configure CoreDNS server read, write and
 | 
						|
idle timeouts.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Syntax
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
~~~ txt
 | 
						|
timeouts {
 | 
						|
	read DURATION
 | 
						|
	write DURATION
 | 
						|
	idle DURATION
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
~~~
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For any timeouts that are not provided, default values are used which may vary
 | 
						|
depending on the server type. At least one timeout must be specified otherwise
 | 
						|
the entire timeouts block should be omitted.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Examples
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Start a DNS-over-TLS server that picks up incoming DNS-over-TLS queries on port
 | 
						|
5553 and uses the nameservers defined in `/etc/resolv.conf` to resolve the
 | 
						|
query. This proxy path uses plain old DNS. A 10 second read timeout, 20
 | 
						|
second write timeout and a 60 second idle timeout have been configured.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
~~~
 | 
						|
tls://.:5553 {
 | 
						|
	tls cert.pem key.pem ca.pem
 | 
						|
	timeouts {
 | 
						|
		read 10s
 | 
						|
		write 20s
 | 
						|
		idle 60s
 | 
						|
	}
 | 
						|
	forward . /etc/resolv.conf
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
~~~
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Start a DNS-over-HTTPS server that is similar to the previous example. Only the
 | 
						|
read timeout has been configured for 1 minute.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
~~~
 | 
						|
https://. {
 | 
						|
	tls cert.pem key.pem ca.pem
 | 
						|
	timeouts {
 | 
						|
		read 1m
 | 
						|
	}
 | 
						|
	forward . /etc/resolv.conf
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
~~~
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Start a standard TCP/UDP server on port 1053. A read and write timeout has been
 | 
						|
configured. The timeouts are only applied to the TCP side of the server.
 | 
						|
~~~
 | 
						|
.:1053 {
 | 
						|
	timeouts {
 | 
						|
		read 15s
 | 
						|
                write 30s
 | 
						|
	}
 | 
						|
	forward . /etc/resolv.conf
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
