01 // General_Info
> Is this service really free?
Yes. DNSDOH.ART is a project dedicated to internet privacy. We do not sell data, show ads, or charge fees.
> Do I need to install an app?
For most devices (Android 9+, iOS 14+, Windows 11, macOS), No. You can use the native "Private DNS" or "Secure DNS" settings in your OS. An app (like AdGuard) is only needed for older devices or if you specifically want to use DNS-over-QUIC.
> Will this slow down my internet?
Usually, it makes it faster. By blocking heavy ad scripts and tracking pixels, websites render quicker. Our average resolution time is under 15ms.
02 // Privacy_Logs
> Do you log my browsing history?
Never. We operate with a strict no-logs policy. Logs are disabled at the server daemon level (Unbound/AdGuard). We do not record IPs or queries.
> Can my ISP still see what I visit?
We encrypt your DNS lookups so your ISP cannot see *which* domain you are visiting. However, they can still see the IP address you connect to. For 100% anonymity, use a VPN.
> What do you block?
We block over 500,000 domains using lists from HaGeZi, OISD, and AdGuard. This covers ads, trackers, analytics, phishing sites, and malware command centers.
03 // Tech_Specs
> What's the difference: DoH vs DoT vs DoQ?
- [DoH] HTTPS Port 443 -> Best for Browsers
- [DoT] TLS Port 853 -> Best for Android/iOS
- [DoQ] QUIC/UDP -> Best for Mobile Data
> Do you support DNSSEC?
Yes. Our backend Unbound resolver performs full DNSSEC validation. This prevents DNS spoofing and cache poisoning attacks by verifying the digital signatures of DNS records.
> Why does the server location show [Country]?
We use Anycast Routing. This means the same IP address (`194.180.189.33`) exists in multiple locations. You are automatically routed to the nearest physical server. Sometimes GeoIP databases (like MaxMind) are outdated and may show the "Headquarters" location instead of the physical server you are connecting to.
04 // Diagnostics
> How do I verify it's working?
Visit our DNS Leak Test page. If it says "DNSDOH.ART" as your provider, you are secure.
> How do I uninstall / turn it off?
Simply go back to the settings where you entered our address (e.g., Android Private DNS, Windows Network Settings) and switch the mode back to "Automatic" or "Off". If you installed an iOS Profile, go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management and delete the profile.
> A website is broken (False Positive).
Rarely, a site may break if it depends on an ad-tracker. You can temporarily switch your DNS to Automatic/ISP to access it. Please report the domain to us so we can whitelist it.
