ΕΛΠΙΣ DNS
Secure DNS for South East Asia

ΕΛΠΙΣ DNS · free · encrypted · no logs

for the community

Private, fast DNS that blocks ads and trackers. Answered by our own resolver, straight from the root — no ISP, no Google, no Cloudflare in between.

How a DNS lookup travels through ΕΛΠΙΣ

  1. You ask where example.com is. The question travels encrypted.
  2. ΕΛΠΙΣ DNS stops it if it's an ad or tracker. If not, it passes it on.
  3. The root doesn't know the site, but knows who runs .com.
  4. .com points to example.com's own name server.
  5. The name server answers. We check its DNSSEC signature.
  6. You get the answer, and we cache it so next time is instant.

Why ΕΛΠΙΣ

Here's what you get

Free. No account, no app. Change one setting and you're done.

Private by default

DNS over HTTPS and TLS keep your lookups encrypted. No query logs, no profiles, nothing to sell.

Blocks the junk

Ads, trackers, malware and phishing stop here. Family mode also blocks adult sites and turns on safe search.

Fast across South East Asia

Servers in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. a.hitoha.moe and b.hitoha.moe send ECS, so YouTube and other CDNs serve you from the nearest cache.

Works on IPv6-only

DNS64 and our NAT64 gateway let IPv6-only networks reach IPv4-only sites. Handy for a VPS with no IPv4 at all.

Our own resolver

We ask the root servers ourselves, no forwarding, and over TLS where they take it. Second in the world to check post-quantum ML-DSA-44 signatures.

DNS stamp for dnscrypt-proxy and friends
 

The same address as one sdns:// string. Paste it into dnscrypt-proxy, AdGuard Home, YogaDNS or anything else that takes a stamp.

Any of these work too — use two or three if your device takes a list:
