When you visit a website (or anything on the internet), you write the name of the site and get an answer. Somewhere (probably in a Big Tech data centre), a computer (not unlike the one you’re using) gets your request and forms a response.

To get the address to send data to, DNS resolvers take the site name and gives you the address. That’s what I’m offering. A privacy first, fast DNS resolver.

The service is best in Scandinavia, as that’s where the server physically resides.

After seeing the stats Cloudflare provided, I realized the DNS resolver I’d been using was keeping logs. This is more private.

Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 service is anyway greatly superior in every way (privacy, speed) to Google’s offering and especially your ISP’s service.

In my perpetual mission of increasing privacy, I’ve began hosting my own DNS resolver. It does not depend on any external resolvers.

I guarantee to not collect any data, no IP logs, no DNS queries, nada.

If your DNS / internet suddenly stops working, please remove the changes and visit this page for updates.

Service

The IP for this DNS service is 90.225.99.101.

I offer both DNS on port 53 and DNS over TLS on port 853. Use DoT for better security and privacy. Using normal DNS (port 53), middlemen can redirect you to other sites.

Setup

This is a brief introduction on how to change DNS settings on various devices.

Mobile devices

In most operating systems, you can change DNS settings on a per network basis. Go to the Wi-Fi settings and select the connected network. In that menu, you should find the settings.

Desktop computers

I recommend installing Unbound as a DNS server locally, which caches DNS queries and can more securely fetch them from my server.

If you don’t want to use Unbound, set my DNS in your system’s settings.
