Open Infrastructure

The Internet, Unfiltered.

By default, your Internet Service Provider logs every website you visit and monetizes your data. Reclaim your privacy and accelerate your browsing with our free, global DNS resolution network.

The Advantage

Speed meets anonymity.

Your ISP uses incredibly slow, geographically centralized DNS servers that log your traffic for advertising profiles. HostPanel Public DNS utilizes a global Anycast network that resolves queries in milliseconds while strictly enforcing a zero-log policy.

Absolute Privacy

We never log your IP address. All DNS query data is permanently wiped from our edge servers every 24 hours. We do not sell your browsing history.

Global Anycast

When you make a DNS request, it is instantly routed to the closest physical server out of our 50+ global nodes, slashing Time-to-First-Byte (TTFB).

Malware Blocking

Our resolvers are actively updated with a global threat-intelligence blacklist. If a domain is known for phishing or ransomware, we block the resolution at the network level.

DoH & DoT Support

Standard DNS is unencrypted. We support DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DNS-over-TLS (DoT), encrypting your requests so even your ISP cannot intercept them.

Deployment

Configuration Guide.

Select your operating system

Windows 10/11

  1. Open the Control Panel.
  2. Click on Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center.
  3. Click Change adapter settings.
  4. Right-click your connected network and select Properties.
  5. Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.
  6. Select "Use the following DNS server addresses" and enter:
99.99.99.99 Primary
99.99.99.100 Secondary

macOS

  1. Open System Settings (or System Preferences).
  2. Click on Network.
  3. Select your connected network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) and click Details or Advanced.
  4. Click the DNS tab.
  5. Click the + button at the bottom of the DNS Servers list to add our IPv4 addresses.
  6. Remove any existing IP addresses provided by your ISP.

Home Routers

Changing your DNS at the router level automatically protects every device connected to your Wi-Fi network (phones, smart TVs, IoT devices).

  1. Log into your router's administrative dashboard (typically 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1).
  2. Locate the WAN or Internet settings.
  3. Find the DNS Server section.
  4. Input our Primary and Secondary IPv4 addresses and save your configuration.

DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH)

Configure your browser (Chrome/Firefox/Brave) to utilize our encrypted endpoint.

Inquiries

Understanding DNS.

What exactly is a DNS Resolver?
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the phonebook of the internet. When you type 'example.com' into your browser, a DNS resolver translates that human-readable name into the numerical IP address (like 192.0.2.1) required to load the website.
Why should I change from my ISP's default DNS?
By default, you use your Internet Service Provider's DNS. ISPs often use slow servers, leading to sluggish browsing. More importantly, ISPs frequently log your DNS queries to build advertising profiles or arbitrarily block access to specific websites. Changing your DNS bypasses this surveillance.
Is this service completely free?
Yes. We operate a vast enterprise Anycast network for our hosting clients. We open a portion of this routing capacity to the general public completely free of charge to promote a faster, more secure internet.
What is DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH)?
Traditional DNS queries are sent in 'plaintext,' meaning anyone monitoring your Wi-Fi network (like a coffee shop hacker) can see what websites you are requesting. DoH encrypts these requests inside standard HTTPS traffic, making your browsing activity completely invisible to eavesdroppers.
Will changing my DNS break my internet?
No. Changing your DNS solely updates the 'phonebook' your computer uses. If you ever experience issues, you can easily revert your network settings back to 'Automatic' and your ISP will take over routing again.
Does this hide my IP address like a VPN?
No. A custom DNS resolver secures your requests and prevents ISP logging, but your final destination server still sees your real IP address. If you require absolute IP masking and geographic relocation, you must utilize a Premium VPN.
