Which DNS servers do you trust and use?

Regarding dnscrypt I can suggest some of DNS server listed in thie OpenNIC list.

http://wiki.opennicproject.org/Tier2

4-5 DNS server are not logging including no ANON logs.

 

Thanks all I agree we have plenty decent DNS servers I find the openic log-less DNS servers to be the best

 

I want DNS servers that are RFC compliant and work more reliably than my new ISP's DNS server(s). I'm trying Level 3 DNS servers (4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, 4.2.2.3, 4.2.2.4, 4.2.2.5, 4.2.2.6) now. They perform well in my DNS Benchmark tests. I just found this potentially bad news though.

 

From https://www.grc.com/dns/operation.htm:

Some of the Level 3 DNS servers mentioned in the last post partially protect against this.

 

What does the DNS server mean? I have in my network card OpenDNS ones, but does that mean any. Needs to set in router too to some specific IPs?

 

Here is explanation: http://www.howtogeek.com/122845/htg-explains-what-is-dns/
If you set your dns on your system manually, you don't have to set it on router also. If you have many systems connected to your router, you can also change it on router, so that other system will get the same DNS servers if they are not set manually.

 

Swiss Privacy Foundation. Chaos Computer Club. My VPN assigned ones.

 

FYI, German Privacy Foundation dissolved on 5 June 2013.

 

No love for GoogleDNS ?

 

CloudNS; DNScrypt *and* DNSSEC, no logging.

 

I trust and use Chaos Computer Club DNS 213.73.91.35, Swiss Privacy Foundation DNS (77.109.139.29), censurfridns.dk DNS (89.104.194.142 / 2002:5968:c28e::53). There is 2 public proxy.sh DNS too (but I have forgotten them),

Along GRC's spoofability test, all three are DNSSEC, but CCC DNS has some added security features that the others haven't.

 

I like CCC too

And their one-day email https://anonbox.net/ is also very cool

 

Hi
really?
because they can not block ads at least for me
do you use 87.118.111.215 & 213.187.11.62 ?
thanks

 

My own DNS. Works great.
And for filtering Squid + dynamic ad/malware blocklist that is updated daily by cron job

 

Hey, I have switched back to OpenDNS, but FoolDNS does not block all ADs, just bad ones, you still need adblocker, if you want to block all.

 

I've been looking for best public DNS and my conclusion so far is ClouDNS. Only one DNS who support DNSCrypt and DNSSEC, and no logs (correct me if you know other DNS which support both).
For me, whatever additional benefits it provide, it makes no sense to use the DNS which can be poisoned.

 

hi
does somebody tried level3 dns ?

is there a way to set dns for an account (for example parental control open dns ) ?
thanks

 

Either use a script at startup or some DNS changing utility.

is the swiss privacy foundation and chaos computer club dns usable in anywhere or only in germany, europe?

 

@winlin - I've used those two DNS Servers from US - no problems.

@mantra - I've found a fast and simple way to change DNS Servers on my Windows 7 system using Windows Commands. Specifically, assuming you have the normal setup in which your networking connection is called "Local Area Connection" the following command will change the Primary DNS Server to Chaos Computer Club:

netsh interface ip set dns name = "Local Area Connection" source = static 213.73.91.35​

The following will change the secondary DNS server to Swiss Privacy Foundation:

netsh interface ip add dns name = "Local Area Connection" addr = 77.109.139.29 index=2​

You can copy the two commands into a Notepad page (each command on a separate line), then make a high level new folder such as "C:\Temp" or "C:\DNS" and save the notepad file in that folder as a "bat" file named, for example, StaticDNS.bat (or whatever suits you) -- then put a link to the bat file on your desktop. Then when you run that link as an administrator, you will automatically change your DNS Servers to Chaos Comp Club and Swiss Privacy (or whatever you have set). All in a single click.

If you want to be able to quickly change your DNS Server back to the default DNS Server of your ISP (as per the setting in your router), make a different "bat" file (called AutoDNS.bat or whatever suits you) having the following single command:

netsh interface ip set dns name = "Local Area Connection" source = dhcp​

Don't know for sure if this works for Win8 and 8.1 but believe it would.

Thanks @S.B.

 

i use the dns servers from my vpn provider,they do not log anything.
