Domains blocked at the resolver

1.54M

Two curated feeds, refreshed every 8 hours, held in memory for instant answers.

Ads, trackers, telemetry: 417K
Malware, phishing, scams: 1.13M

What you'll notice

Fewer ads and trackers on every device connected to the VPN, with no browser extension.
Malicious domains stop at the resolver. Phishing kits, malware hosts and scam sites return “no such name.”
Nothing to configure. Same VPN profile, same two DNS addresses, same experience.

Five upgrades in one cutover

Encrypted upstream

Lookups leave the resolver over DNS-over-TLS. Nobody between us and the internet sees them in plaintext anymore.

Choosing a DNS resolver

Fri, 05 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Overview

Every connection your device makes starts with a DNS lookup. The resolver that answers it sees the name of every site and service you use, decides how quickly you get an answer, and can decide whether you get an answer at all. Most people never choose one; they use whatever their ISP or network hands out. That is a reasonable default, but it is still a choice, and it is worth knowing what you are trusting the resolver with.

nxdomain.co does not set cookies. There is no analytics, no advertising and no sign-in on this site, so there is nothing for a cookie to do.

One thing is stored in your browser: if you use the light/dark toggle in the header, your choice is saved in the browser’s local storage under the key theme so that the site opens in the mode you picked. It is a single word, it never leaves your browser, and clearing site data for nxdomain.co removes it. If you never touch the toggle, nothing is stored and the site follows your operating system’s setting.
