#' Perform DNS over HTTPS queries using Google
#'
#' Traditional DNS queries and responses are sent over UDP or TCP without
#' encryption. This is vulnerable to eavesdropping and spoofing (including
#' DNS-based Internet filtering). Responses from recursive resolvers to clients
#' are the most vulnerable to undesired or malicious changes, while
#' communications between recursive resolvers and authoritative nameservers
#' often incorporate additional protection.\cr
#' \cr
#' To address this problem, Google Public DNS offers DNS resolution over an
#' encrypted HTTPS connection. DNS-over-HTTPS greatly enhances privacy and
#' security between a client and a recursive resolver, and complements DNSSEC
#' to provide end-to-end authenticated DNS lookups.
#'
#' @param name item to lookup. Valid characters are numbers, letters, hyphen, and dot. Length
#' must be between 1 and 255. Names with escaped or non-ASCII characters
#' are not supported. Internationalized domain names must use the
#' punycode format (e.g. "\code{xn--qxam}" rather than "\code{ελ}")
#' @param type RR type can be represented as a number in [1, 65535] or canonical
#' string (A, aaaa, etc.)
#' @param edns_client_subnet The edns0-client-subnet option. Format is an IP
#' address with a subnet mask. Examples: \code{1.2.3.4/24},
#' \code{2001:700:300::/48}.\cr
#' If you are using DNS-over-HTTPS because of privacy concerns, and do
#' not want any part of your IP address to be sent to authoritative
#' nameservers for geographic location accuracy, use
#' \code{edns_client_subnet=0.0.0.0/0}. Google Public DNS normally sends
#' approximate network information (usually replacing the last part of
#' your IPv4 address with zeroes).
#' @return a \code{list} with the query result or \code{NULL} if an error occurred
#' @export
#' @examples
#' query("rud.is")
