Today, as promised, I have turned off cleartext port 53 DNS lookups (TCP&UDP). The reason for this is detailed in this blogpost . During <a href="https://bor
TL;DR Cleartext UDP and TCP DNS on port 53 (and on this service also 5353) is being turned off permanently in a little over 6 months, on September 1st, 2022. Encrypted lookups will continue to be supported like today. The reason for this radical c
I finally got around to getting the blog back online. It took longer than I would have liked, but technology is like that sometimes. Stay tuned for an important blogpost about the future of the service later today.
TL;DR: The unicast server is moving to a new hosting location within 1-2 weeks. Expect some downtime, but no configuration changes are needed. Since this service saw the light of day in 2011 the unicast node unicast.uncensoreddns.org has been runn
Since 01:57 CET today February 15th IPv6 has not been working for the Unicast server. This means DNS lookups to the unicast server 2a01:3a0:53:53:: do not work at the moment. IPv4 is working, and the anycast nodes are working. The provider (Telia)
The Solido anycast node has been shut down permanently today. Solido is owned by Sentia these days, and my agreement for the anycast node was (indirectly) with Solido. The IP addresses which will no longer be responding to DNS lookups are: 185.109
The Bornfiber anycast node has been shut down permanently today. The company sponsoring the node got new owners and they do not wish to continue sponsoring the node. The IP addresses which will no longer be responding to DNS lookups are: 185.109.
This weekend I enabled DNS-over-HTTPS on all servers. I know many people have been waiting patiently for news on this front, so I am very pleased to announce that it is finally ready. The DNS-over-HTTPS URLs are <a href="https://anycast.censurfrid

The project finally got a logo, and it turned out great! A huge thanks to my friend and colleague Martin Nagel Larsen who did the design and put up with all my thoughts and ideas about the logo. Here it is, click for a larger version <a href="/s
Today 89.233.43.71 has been moved to new hardware to improve response times and stability. The server has also been renamed from ns1.uncensoreddns.org to unicast.uncensoreddns.org to better reflect reality. The old "ns1" name signalled some level
All the content has been moved from the old blog. Only a few things left to do, one of them is to get this new blog to look a bit better. I am not much of a designer I'm afraid. If you have skills and feel like doing a bit of work to help the project
I finally got around to moving this blog off of the old Drupal based system. The old content will be moved to the new site soon. RSS feeds will be back soon as well.
ns2.censurfridns.dk (89.104.194.142 / 2002:5968:c28e::53) has since the beginning in october 2009 been running on a Comendo IP address from a Comendo datacenter. For different reasons the time has now come to shutdown the old ns2 and replace it with

Today, November 15th 2012 marks exactly three years since this service was launched. I've compiled a list of five birthday wishes - already posted on Twitter - that would make the world and the Internet a better place: A completely uncensored
Jeg var inviteret til at fortælle om censurfridns på Open Source Days 2012 . Jeg er naturligvis altid glad for at komme ud og sprede det gode budskab. Jeg var lidt nervøs, men det gik rigtig god
