The restena DNS resolver is a public DNS service of the Restena Foundation in Luxembourg. It supports encrypted queries through DNS over TLS and DNS over HTTPS, so lookups are not sent across the network in the clear.
Being run by a Luxembourg foundation rather than a commercial company makes it a European alternative to the public resolvers of large American providers. It suits people who want encrypted DNS from a public interest operator on a laptop, a phone or a home router.
