Digitalcourage

Digitalcourage provides a free, censorship-resistant, and privacy-focused DNS server to ensure open access to the internet.

Description

Digitalcourage operates dns3.digitalcourage.de, a censorship-resistant DNS server providing an alternative to DNS servers that might censor certain websites or IP addresses. The service is free and relies on donations and memberships. It prioritizes user privacy and avoids logging user data unless it's strictly necessary to troubleshoot issues. The server supports encrypted connections via DNS-over-TLS (DoT) to protect user queries from eavesdropping. Digitalcourage's motivation stems from a commitment to free speech and opposition to internet censorship. They have actively countered government attempts to censor online content. The project's longevity is thanks to continuous community support.
