About Digitale Gesellschaft CH DNS
The Public DNS Resolver by Digitale Gesellschaft is a non-profit initiative based in Switzerland. It provides an alternative to large commercial DNS providers by offering encrypted DNS queries via modern protocols like DoT and DoH. The service is designed with a strong focus on privacy and internet freedom, explicitly stating that it does not log user data or implement any blocking/filtering mechanisms. The infrastructure is maintained by volunteers on a 'Best Effort' basis. As part of their commitment to transparency, the organization publishes annual transparency reports and adheres to privacy standards such as the Mozilla DoH Resolver Policy. The service is available to the public free of charge and aims to protect users from surveillance and manipulation at the DNS layer.
