Experimental DNS Privacy Recursive Servers
The following servers are configured to support TLS on port 853 for testing purposes.
Note that they are experimental offerings 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).
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!!
NEW!! Live monitoring of these servers can be found on the Test Server Monitoring page
A configuration file for Stubby containing a subset of these servers which can all be validated can be found here.
A JSON file with the details of the same subset of servers can be downloaded here.
Note that the Yeti servers use a different root key for DNSSEC! See the Yeti project for more details

(1) Since the nameserver is behind a proxy the client IP is not logged inside the nameserver
