Legal & Compliance

Terms & Privacy Policy

Transparency is our core value. Below are the strict rules we follow to protect our infrastructure and the guarantees we provide regarding your data privacy.

Acceptable Use Policy

Zero Tolerance

Our infrastructure is protected by automated heuristic analysis. Engaging in the following activities will trigger an immediate, permanent ban of your IP subnet:

Amplification Attacks

Using our resolvers to reflect traffic or launch DDoS attacks against third parties.

Mass Scanning

High-velocity scanning of subdomains, rapid-fire PTR lookups, or network mapping.

Botnet Activity

Command & Control (C2) beacons, malware distribution, or domain generation algorithms.

Spam Operations

Facilitating unsolicited bulk email (UBE), spam campaigns, or fraud.

Rate Limiting & Capacity

50
Queries/Second
Per IP address. Optimized for heavy household or small office usage without latency penalties.
100
Burst Allowance
Instant buffer for modern web browsing where loading a single page triggers 50+ DNS requests.
60m
Auto-Unban
If you hit a limit, your IP is temporarily jailed. The jail expires automatically after 60 minutes.

Privacy & Data Handling

What We Do NOT Log

  • No Client IPs: We do not store your IP address on disk correlated with your DNS queries.
  • No Browsing History: We do not build profiles of the domains you visit.
  • No Third-Party Sharing: We do not sell data to advertisers, ISPs, or data brokers.

Operational Visibility

  • Volatile Memory: Queries are processed in RAM (Redis) for caching and are purged automatically upon expiry (TTL).
  • Aggregate Metrics: We monitor total query volume and cache hit rates to scale our servers.
  • Security Logs: In the event of a DDoS attack, offending IPs are temporarily logged by the firewall to enforce bans, then discarded.

Legal Disclaimer & Limitation of Liability

1. "As Is" and "As Available"

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". DNSDOH.ART EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

2. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL DNSDOH.ART, ITS OPERATORS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM (A) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE; (B) ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE SERVICE; OR (C) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE, OR ALTERATION OF YOUR TRANSMISSIONS OR CONTENT.

3. Content Filtering & Blocklists

We employ automated filtering systems to block domains associated with malware, phishing, trackers, and illegal content (CSAM). While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that every malicious domain will be blocked or that legitimate domains will never be blocked (false positives). We reserve the right to modify our blocklists at our sole discretion for the safety of the internet community.
