This is a hobby public DNS resolver provided for general use. The resolver does not log any DNS queries. To prevent abuse, IPs that exceed query limits are logged and rate limited for a minute. The service is provided as-is with no uptime guarantee, but I will do my best to keep it running as reliably as possible.
NOTE: RATE LIMITED IPs ARE DELETED AFTER A MINUTE && PLAIN DNS ON PORT 53 IS DISABLED
