The internet is an essential part of modern life, but it comes with hidden risks to your privacy. Many DNS (Domain Name System) services log your browsing activity, track your habits, and share data with advertisers or other third parties. By using a privacy-focused DNS service like the UK DNS Privacy Project, you can take control of your online activity and protect your personal information from prying eyes.
When you visit a website, your device communicates with a DNS server to translate the domain name (like example.com) into an IP address. Traditional DNS servers often lack encryption, making it easy for your queries to be intercepted, tracked, or even manipulated. Our public resolvers allow you to encrypt your DNS traffic, providing you with a safer, more private browsing experience.
Beyond privacy, security is a key reason to choose a modern DNS service. DNS-over-TLS (DoT) and DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) prevents your queries from being exposed to attackers or malicious actors on the network. This added layer of encryption protects you from threats like DNS spoofing or man-in-the-middle attacks, giving you peace of mind while browsing.
By choosing a privacy-first DNS service, you're not just protecting yourself, you’re also making a statement. You’re showing that you value your digital rights and expect internet providers and technology companies to prioritize user privacy. Together, we can create a more secure and private internet for everyone.
