valiant DNS
Your computer needs a DNS service in order to turn domain names like Google.com, which are easy for humans to understand, into IP addresses like 142.250.199.46, which are useful to computers.
Operating a DNS service isn't cheap, as it often means servicing millions of computers per minute, requiring lots of servers, a specific type of computer optimized for talking with other computers over the internet.
If you would rather not have your web browsing activity sent directly to big tech companies, or you are concerned they may share your information with third-parties (or governments, perhaps unwillingly or unknowingly), consider using Valiant DNS.
We don't keep logs, share DNS query information with any third parties (including governments), or use query data for advertising purposes.
Oh, and it's lighting-fast.
