Public recursive name server

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Mathemonkey (talk | contribs) at 10:40, 3 August 2020 (→List of public DNS service operators: add dns-unfiltered to adguard row). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

A public recursive name server (also called public DNS resolver) is a name server service that networked computers may use for query to the Domain Name System (DNS), the decentralized Internet naming system, in place of or in addition to name servers operated by the local Internet service provider (ISP) to which the devices are connected. Reasons for using these services include:

  • speed, compared to using ISP DNS services[1]
  • filtering (security, ad-blocking, porn-blocking, etc.)[2]
  • reporting[3]
  • avoiding censorship[4]
  • redundancy (smart caching)[5]
  • access to unofficial alternative top level domains not found in the official DNS root zone
  • temporary unavailability of the ISP's name server

Public DNS resolver operators often cite increased privacy as an advantage of their services; critics of public DNS services have cited the possibility of mass data collection targeted at the public resolvers as a potential risk of using these services. Several services now support secure DNS lookup transport services such as DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT).

Public DNS resolvers are operated either by commercial companies, offering their service for free use to the public, or by private enthusiasts to help spread new technologies and support non-profit communities.
