About Freifunk München DNS
Freifunk München (FFMUC) provides a security-hardened DNS resolver service as an alternative to US-based providers like Cloudflare. The service is designed to prevent DNS queries from being read in open networks by encrypting them using modern protocols. It is explicitly positioned as a response to concerns about the centralization of DNS services within American corporate infrastructures. The service is integrated into major privacy-focused tools and projects, appearing in the DNSCrypt-Project and various iOS/Android applications. It offers multiple encrypted endpoints and provides transparent statistics via a public Grafana dashboard, while maintaining a strict privacy policy that avoids logging the content of user requests.
