Control D offers free, public DNS resolver endpoints you can use without needing an account. They let you resolve domain names with built-in filtering (optional) and encryption, backed by our global anycast network.
- To let anyone benefit from faster, safer DNS without signing up
- To showcase our filtering in “open mode”
- To help folks who don’t want the overhead of managing a full account or dashboard
- To let devs / power users test configurations easily
- Resolve DNS queries (map domain names to IPs)
- Support encrypted DNS (DoH, DoT, QUIC)
- Optionally block domains according to curated Native and 3rd-party blocklists (ads, malware, tracking, etc.)
- Refresh those blocklists periodically (every 30 minutes) so filters stay current
- Operate over an anycast infrastructure to reduce latency and improve reliability
- Not store logs (no individual browsing history, timestamps, or query logs)
- They are not a full dashboard / profile management system
- You cannot create custom rules or fine-tune individual domains (beyond what the blocklists provide)
- They don’t provide analytics or reporting
- If you want custom Filters or per-device profiles, that’s in the paid offering
We expose multiple blocklist presets as distinct resolver endpoints. Each flavor corresponds to one or more blocklists. You pick whichever fits your needs:

All Filters are rebuilt and deployed from their original sources every 30 minutes.
You point your device, router, or app to one of the free DNS endpoints:
- For legacy DNS: use the IPv4 or IPv6 addresses listed above
- For secure DNS (DoH / DoT / QUIC): use the hostname / URL (e.g.
x-oisd.freedns.controld.com)
Because these resolvers are global (anycast), your queries will be routed to the nearest healthy node automatically.
- You can’t “mix & match” filters (e.g. use StevenBlack plus some custom domain)
- Some 3rd-party blocklists may be overzealous or block false positives
- Devices relying on captive portals (e.g. hotel Wi-Fi) may fail DNS until portal is accepted
- If you ever migrate to full Control D, you’ll need to switch DNS endpoints
- Free resolvers do not include logging or historical query data
