Reading the address list
These services have public operating records at least five years old. Addresses were checked against official documentation on 2026-10-21. A long history cannot guarantee future operation or reachability on your network. Each entry uses one defined mode; family and alternative filtering profiles are not mixed in.
Choosing for your network
Google, Cloudflare, Quad9 and AdGuard are cross-region candidates. AliDNS and DNSPod are additional options to compare on Chinese networks; Yandex is another option in Russia and nearby regions. These are candidate groups, not speed rankings. Compare reachability, reliability, filtering and privacy policies. Work or school names may require an assigned internal resolver. DoH and DoT encrypt queries between device and resolver; they are not VPNs and do not anonymize all activity.
