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.
European security & identity alternative based in Germany.
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 — no logging, no commercial interest, 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 — the server does not retain information about individual DNS requests
- DNS over HTTPS (DoH) —
https://dns.artikel10.org/dns-query - DNS over TLS (DoT) —
dns.artikel10.org:853 - Compatible with Android (Private DNS), Chrome, Firefox, and OpenWrt
- IPv4 and IPv6 —
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 — 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.
