The DNS resolver that lies to trackers
Every website you visit starts with a DNS query. Trackers abuse this to follow you everywhere.
DoH Split-Brain answers honestly for real websites and
sends trackers into a black hole.
The same DNS server gives different answers depending on who's asking for what.
163,000+ tracker, telemetry, malware, and ad domains return 0.0.0.0 (IPv4) or :: (IPv6). The request never reaches the tracker.
Block doubleclick.net and every subdomain is automatically blocked: stats.g.doubleclick.net, ad.doubleclick.net, etc.
We don't log your legitimate DNS queries. Only blocked tracker queries are logged for threat intelligence — and those contain the tracker's name, not yours.
Every blocked query generates a threat intel entry: timestamp, domain, query type. Aggregated data reveals which trackers are most aggressive across our user base.
Standard DNS-over-HTTPS. Works with every browser and OS that supports DoH. GET with base64url, POST with wire format. Proper application/dns-message responses.
Blocklist updates without downtime. Send SIGHUP and the new list is loaded in-memory instantly. No restart, no dropped queries.
Every blocked query is recorded. This data reveals tracking patterns across the internet.
Configure your browser or OS to use our DoH resolver. All DNS queries go through HTTPS — encrypted and filtered.
