Wie vertrauenswürdig ist dnsforge.de?

dnsforge publishes standard encrypted DNS endpoints including DNS, DoT, DoH, and DoQ, and presents DNSSEC validation as part of the service posture.

adminForge says its services run on dedicated root servers at Hetzner in Falkenstein, Germany, supporting data-locality and infrastructure transparency.

adminForge documents a dnsforge resolver setup based on mature open-source components including dnsdist, Pi-hole, and PowerDNS Recursor.

dnsforge publicly discloses blocklist sources, maintains a whitelist path, and states that lists are updated daily.

The operator is publicly identified through the adminForge impressum, reducing anonymity risk for the service.

Public community threads show the operator responding to filtering problems and making concrete changes such as removing a problematic blocklist for VPN use.

dnsforge is presented as a free public DNS service backed by donations rather than paid tiers or metered pricing.

The service uses standard DNS protocols and has a simple exit path because users can switch DNS settings without proprietary export or account dependencies.

AdGuard documentation lists DNS Forge among known trusted DNS providers and identifies it as a redundant no-logging resolver run by adminforge.
