Free German privacy-first DNS resolver from the Artikel10 e.V. non-profit — no query logging, DoH and DoT support, named after Germany's constitutional right to telecom secrecy.
Free DNS resolver from a German non-profit named after the Basic Law article protecting telecom secrecy: no query logging, no tracking, with DoH and DoT support.
Artikel10 DNS is a free public DNS resolver operated by Artikel10 e.V., a German non-profit association. Named after Article 10 of the German Basic Law (which protects telecommunications secrecy), the resolver's entire purpose is to protect DNS queries from surveillance and manipulation, with no logging, no commercial interest, and no tracking.
The service is a genuine public-interest alternative to Cloudflare 1.1.1.1, Google DNS (8.8.8.8), and Quad9, run by a German civil rights organisation explicitly aligned with the constitutional right to private communications.
Key features:
- No query logging means the server retains no information about individual DNS requests
- DNS over HTTPS (DoH) at
https://dns.artikel10.org/dns-query - DNS over TLS (DoT) at
dns.artikel10.org:853 - Compatible with Android (Private DNS), Chrome, Firefox, and OpenWrt
- IPv4 and IPv6 on
217.197.91.153and2001:67c:1401:2120::1 - Operated by a German non-profit, Artikel10 e.V., a registered civil rights association
- Free to use with no accounts, no payments, no upsells
- Privacy-first by constitutional principle, named after the right to telecom secrecy in Germany's Grundgesetz
A rare privacy-first DNS resolver that isn't backed by a commercial entity, ideal for users who want to step out of the Cloudflare/Google DNS ecosystem without paying.
