Dear Privacy guides members,
I think libredns.gr should be added, or at least considered for inclusion, in secure DNS services. I’ve been using them for years, and I’ve never had a problem: they are very fast, they do not censor anything, and seem to have pretty good privacy and security. They state they have a zero-logs policy and use OpenNIC as their Tier 1. They offer regular unencrypted DNS, DoH and DoT, optionally including ads- and tracker-blocking. Here is the source of the project.
It is operated by LibreOps, a voluntary and donation-based community that offers distributed and FOSS services to the world. They have public instances, many proxies, and publish transparent budgets and are present on opencollective.
I think it should be included in the recommended DNS resolvers list, and if not I would like to know why not.
Note that I’m in no way affiliated with them: I’m just a random guy using their services that’s recommending them because I think they’re good and based.
Almost 2 years are passed. Why nobody answered to this topic? @Entscheidungsproblem did you still use it?
I’m having problems with other DNSs, so I might give it a try.

I’ve used LibreDNS for sever years without issues. However, since last year I’m not using it anymore, as I’ve updated my threat model and I now use a VPN, and it’s best practice to use the VPN’s own DNS resolver to prevent leaks.
I’m trying it since the day I’ve written here. I have to say that it’s fast and stable for now. Unfortunately, Quad9 don’t work on Firefox and block the navigation, it’s bugged somewhat. Luckily I came across this alternative Open DNS and found this thread. I’m glad there’s people interested, I hope it will be reviewed by others!
It would be the best solution, but due to connectivity and budget limitations, I can’t rely on a VPN most of the time. So I needed an alternative to Quad9, and luckily it seems that LibreDNS is the solution for now. Nice to know that it worked well for you for a long period of time!
