About DNS.SB
DNS.SB is a public DNS resolver service designed with a 'Privacy First' philosophy. It aims to protect user dignity by ensuring personal DNS data is not logged or tracked. The service allows users to bypass ISP-based monitoring and provides technical protections against eavesdropping through modern encryption protocols. Technically, the service is built upon xTom's global anycast network, which spans 30 locations across 6 continents. This infrastructure ensures low latency (speed) by resolving queries from the node geographically closest to the user. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols and offers specialized encrypted DNS features like DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT) to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and DNS manipulation.
