CleanBrowsing is a free public DNS resolver[1] with content filtering, founded by Daniel B. Cid. It supports DNS over TLS[2] over port 853 and DNS over HTTPS[3] over port 443 in addition to the standard DNS over port 53. CleanBrowsing filters can be used by parents to protect their kids from adult and inappropriate content online.[4]

IP addresses and DNS filters

CleanBrowsing has 3 standard filters accessible via the following anycast IP addresses:[2]

Filter Primary Address Secondary Address IPv6 DNS over TLS
Family Filter 185.228.168.168 185.228.169.168 2a0d:2a00:1:: family-filter-dns.cleanbrowsing.org
Adult Filter 185.228.168.10 185.228.169.11 2a0d:2a00:1::1 adult-filter-dns.cleanbrowsing.org
Security Filter 185.228.168.9 185.228.169.9 2a0d:2a00:1::2 security-filter-dns.cleanbrowsing.org
