+Go 1.19 started sending EDNS0 additional headers on DNS requests.
+This can reportedly break the DNS server provided on some routers,

+This can be changed by the [`netedns0` setting](/pkg/net#hdr-Name_Resolution).

 To force a particular resolver while also printing debugging information,
 join the two settings by a plus sign, as in GODEBUG=netdns=go+1.
 
+The Go resolver will send an EDNS0 additional header with a DNS request,
+to signal a willingness to accept a larger DNS packet size.
+This can reportedly cause sporadic failures with the DNS server run
+by some modems and routers. Setting GODEBUG=netedns0=0 will disable
+sending the additional header.

 On macOS, if Go code that uses the net package is built with
 -buildmode=c-archive, linking the resulting archive into a C program
 requires passing -lresolv when linking the C code.
