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

The Foundation for Applied Privacy is a non-profit organisation in Austria that operates a public DNS resolver. It answers over DNS over HTTPS and DNS over TLS, so lookups can be encrypted rather than sent across the network in the clear.

The servers are located in Austria and Germany, keeping queries inside the EU, which makes this a European alternative to the American public resolvers. It suits privacy conscious users who would rather have a foundation than an advertising company answering their DNS.
