Private, Secure & Uncensored DNS for Everyone

We operate independent public DNS resolvers in more than 100 locations worldwide.

DNS queries can reveal which domains a device is trying to reach. dnscry.pt supports DNSCrypt, DNS-over-TLS (DoT), and DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH), which encrypt those queries between your device and the resolver.

Because your DNS traffic should belong to you, not your ISP, your government, or third-party trackers.

Our service is designed for privacy-aware users who want more control over where their DNS queries are sent.

Why Encrypted DNS Matters

Every time you visit a website, your device asks a DNS server to translate a domain name into an IP address. Without encryption, these DNS queries are:

  • Visible to your ISP
  • Collectable by advertisers
  • Interceptable for censorship
  • Manipulatable for phishing or redirection

Encrypted DNS reduces this exposure

When using our DNS resolvers, your DNS traffic becomes:

  • Encrypted: DNS queries are encrypted between your device and the resolver.
  • Uncensored & Unfiltered: We do not intentionally block domains, redirect, or rewrite DNS answers.
  • Anonymized DNSCrypt support: All dnscry.pt resolvers can also be used as DNSCrypt relays.
  • Secure with DNSSEC: DNSSEC is enabled to help detect forged or manipulated DNS responses.

What makes dnscry.pt different?

All resolvers operated by dnscry.pt follow the same principles:

  • Support IPv4 and IPv6.
  • Validate DNSSEC.
  • Support Anonymized DNSCrypt and can be used as relays.
  • Do not store query logs.
  • Do not intentionally filter, block, redirect, or rewrite domains.
  • Operate from multiple locations worldwide.

The service is for people who want encrypted DNS without resolver-side analytics or profiling.

Access via Tor Hidden Service

For additional privacy, censorship resistance, and anonymity, dnscry.pt is also available as an .onion hidden service:

You can access this site through the Tor Browser or any Tor-enabled client.
