I’m glad I caught this early, thanks for posting it.
Link to Quad9’s DNS services.
Besides Mullvad, which I’ve now changed to Quad9, I use Adguard.com (Cypriot company), LibreDNS.gr (Greek) and UncensoredDNS.org (Danish). They all support both DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS.
Anyone got other European recommendations?
Adguard is a Russian company that pretends to be Cypriot.
Thanks for letting me know. There was some sketchiness with a dot com site being Cypriot, like maybe it was for tax purposes, rights or something, but I hadn’t investigated it too much.
better yet, run a local technetium instance and control your own dns
Honestly Quad9 is the best. Its non profit and switzerland based.
I know people want adblocking DNS, but Adguard is fuckin suss with its Russian ties and for profit motive.
Thank you for the recommendations
with how fast the internet has become and how efficient DNS caching is, it’s kind of a wonder to me that people still need a thrid party middleman for DNS services.
I barely noticed when I changed my home network to use Unbound

I run unbound with Pihole on a pair of pi’s for redundancy.
Perfecto

Don’t forget your wireguard!
quad9 doesn’t have the various levels of filters (ads, social, etc…
Nextdns.io does, if you just need house level DNS ad blocking.
Technically not free if you exceed a very high limit of DNS queries, but ive been using it for years and have never got there.
ControlD also provides a free DNS service with various lists.
Huh, I just switched to Quad9 this morning. Weird that this popped up.

I hope their co-owner shuts down.

Yeah I just switched to IVPN because of this. I had about 30 days left on my subscription when the news first broke, so I figured I’d give them that long to see if they handled it well. Their wishy-washy response to it made me pull the plug.

IVPN also has DNS, but something looks a bit suspicious about the design of its website: app.moddns.net
There’s also this leftover directory in the git repo: github.com/ivpn/moddns/tree/…/.claude-flow
Also they seem to have just removed genAI image from their pricing page: web.archive.org/web/20260829092130/…/pricing/

One of the Mullvad founders has given significant financial support to right wing groups.

Check the Daniel Berntsson of this. As a bonus, the list contains other fascist creeps to avoid.
