DNS4EU (initiative by the European Commission)

[alimac]

DNS4EU is an initiative by the European Commission that aims to offer an alternative to the public DNS resolvers currently dominating the market.

Supported by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), the European Union's DNS4EU secure-infrastructure project provides a protective, privacy-compliant, and resilient DNS service to strengthen the EU’s digital sovereignty and enhance digital security for European Union citizens, governments, and institutions.

DNS4EU is a new DNS resolver that has been co-funded by the European Union. It is privacy-compliant. The IP address of the user is "fully anonymized" and no "private data is collected anywhere". This means that it aligns fully with the GDPR and other European data protection regulations.

One downside is that it supports locations in Europe only, from Spain to Greece, and Ireland to Poland. That is fine if you connect from one of these locations, but performance may suffer if you connect from other locations.

With that out of the way, here are the five IP addresses that you may set up:

Protective Resolution - IP address 86.54.11.1
Protective + Child Protection - IP address 86.54.11.12
Protective + Ad blocking - IP address 86.54.11.13
Protective + Child Protection + Ad blocking - IP address 86.54.11.11
Unfiltered Resolution- IP address 86.54.11.100
