About Digitale Gesellschaft
Since early 2019, Digitale Gesellschaft has been offering public DNS resolvers over DNS-over-TLS (DoT) and DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH). The aim is a privacy-friendly alternative to commercial providers, focusing on privacy, free internet access, no logging and no blocklists, as well as DNSSEC validation. The services are operated by volunteers and transparency reports are published to ensure accountability.
