Welcome to the DNS Privacy project home page 
This site is the home of a collaborative open project to promote, implement and deploy DNS Privacy. The goals of this project include:
- Raising awareness of the issue of DNS Privacy
- Empowering users to take advantage of DNS Privacy tools and resources (client applications, DNS Privacy resolvers)
- Evolving the DNS to support DNS Privacy in particular developing new DNS Protocol standards
- Working towards full support for DNS Privacy in a range of Open Source DNS implementations including: getdns, Unbound, NSD, BIND and Knot (Auth and Resolver)
- Co-ordinating deployment of DNS Privacy services and documenting operational practices
Among the many contributors to this project are Sinodun IT, NLnet Labs, SalesForce, Surftnet, NLnet Foundation, OTF, Stephane Borztmeyer and No Mountain Software.

- Many thanks to Fondation RESTENA (the NREN for Luxembourg and the registry for the .lu ccTLD) for setting up a DNS-over-TLS privacy server!
Jun 2018
- Great news - the latest systemd-resolvd release now supports DNS-over-TLS!
- Interesting work by the folks at Bromite (a privacy focused fork of Chromium that runs on Android). They just enabled the Chromium DoH implementation by exposing configure options (via chrome://flags). See this user guide.
- Oh, and they do a neat fingerprint detection page to see what your browser sends about you in HTTP headers!
- Awesome tutorial by linuxbabe.com about using Stubby on Ubuntu Desktop!
- The DoH draft is in WGLC and is getting significant discussion!
- The amazing folks at dnsdist are working on implementing DoH and finding important issues with the draft
- Mozilla have been blogging about their plans for using DoH
- Here's the details of how it works and how to configure it
- Heres a blog in their general strategy
