Test servers

Public resolvers

Public Resolvers: Several large organizations operate DNS Privacy Servers - see DNS Privacy Public Resolvers

DOH servers are also currently listed on that page

Experimental DNS Privacy Recursive Servers

See our Live Monitoring Dashboard for real time service status.

DoH servers

These are currently listed on the DNS Privacy Public Resolvers page and also the list maintained on the curl wiki. For any servers below with the note ‘also does DoH’ check these pages or the website of the service for the DoH endpoint.

DoT servers

The following servers are experimental DNS-over-TLS servers.

Note that they are experimental offerings (mainly by individuals/small organisations) with no guarantees on the lifetime of the service, service level provided. The level of logging may also vary (see the individual websites where available) - the information here about logging has not been verified. Also note that the single SPKI pins published here for many of these servers are subject to change (e.g on Certificate renewal) and should be used with care!!

Stubby configuration

A YAML configuration file for Stubby containing the main public DNS privacy resolvers and also details of a subset of these test servers is provided with Stubby and can be found here. This file enables only the server operated by the stubby/getdns developers by default, users SHOULD actively choose additional or alternate servers for robustness. Enable any of the other servers by uncommenting the relevant section in the config file.

Servers run by the Stubby developers

The dnsovertls*.sinodun.com servers are no longer present in the Stubby config file as of release 0.4.1 and were decommissioned on 9th Sept 2022.
