Scope verdict

Ownership reviewed, controller unresolved

This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.

How we classify services

FFMUC DNS is a public DNS resolver operated by Freifunk München, a non-profit organisation in Germany. It answers plaintext DNS as well as DNS over HTTPS and DNS over TLS, so encrypted lookups work on desktop and mobile alike.

The servers are located in Germany and Austria, and the service is completely free of charge, funded by donations. Run by a community network rather than a company, it is a European alternative to the American public resolvers and suits people who prefer a non-commercial operator.
