Comes from a high trust company, but lacks customization.

Review from a new or low-activity account — shown here, but not counted in the app rating.

"These IPs can only be used with DNS resolvers that support DoH or DoT, not with DNS over UDP/53 or TCP/53."

What is MullvadDNS?

Our public encrypted DNS service uses DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT). This protects your DNS queries from being snooped on by third parties when not connected to our VPN service as your DNS queries are encrypted between your device and our DNS server.

This service is primarily meant to be used when you are disconnected from our VPN service, or on devices where it's not possible or desirable to connect to the VPN. When you are already connected to our VPN service the security benefits of using encrypted DNS is negligible and it will always be slower than using the DNS resolver on the VPN server that you are connected to.

You can use this privacy-enhancing service even if you are not a Mullvad customer.
