Public DNS Resolvers
A personal contribution to an open and secure network.
Encrypted DNS for everyone. Your queries travel over DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS — private from your ISP and intermediaries, with no logging. Unfiltered — or with the family filter, if you explicitly choose it.
- German operator
- Own AS: AS218835
- DoH & DoT
- No logging, filtering only by choice
- No sign-up required
- Live traffic & metrics public
One address, three sites
Zurich, Düsseldorf and Houston answer on the same addresses. Your query automatically reaches the nearest server — if one fails, the others take over on their own.
Both services: encrypted via DNS-over-HTTPS, DNSSEC validation, no logging — anchored and verified in the configuration.
Open resolver
The internet as it is.
- Blocks nothing — no blocklist, no redirects, no ad filtering
- Resolves every domain
Family resolver
Same as the open resolver, just without adult content.
- Blocks around 489,000 domains with adult content (OISD NSFW, refreshed hourly)
- Deliberately does not filter ads, trackers or malware
Technical note: the family resolver rewrites answers for blocked domains. Clients that validate DNSSEC themselves receive SERVFAIL for blocked signed domains. Server configuration details
Traffic in real time
Real queries on the real fleet — anonymised at the source.
- UDP
- TCP
- DoT
- DoH
Anonymous at the source: the resolvers aggregate themselves and send only origin regions rounded to ~11 km (a GeoIP estimate) with city/country counters, protocols and query types. IP addresses and domain names never leave the server.
Every node in view
Live latency from your browser, measured per node via DNS-over-HTTPS — sorted by average, fastest on top.
Built for privacy and speed
DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS protect every query in transit.
No query logs are stored — your browsing data stays yours.
The open resolver resolves everything — filtering happens only in the family service you choose yourself.
Low-latency endpoints with DNSSEC validation.
