AN OPEN DNS RECURSIVE SERVICE FOR FREE SECURITY AND HIGH PRIVACY

Quad9 is a free service that replaces your default ISP or enterprise Domain Name
Server (DNS) configuration. When your computer performs any Internet transaction
that uses the DNS (and most transactions do), Quad9 blocks lookups of malicious
host names from an up-to-the-minute list of threats. This blocking action
protects your computer, mobile device, or IoT systems against a wide range of
threats such as malware, phishing, spyware, and botnets, and it can improve
performance in addition to guaranteeing privacy. The Quad9 DNS service is
operated by the Swiss-based Quad9 Foundation, whose mission is to provide a
safer and more robust Internet for everyone.

PRIVACY


HOW QUAD9 PROTECTS YOUR PRIVACY

When your devices use Quad9 normally, no data containing your IP address is ever
logged in any Quad9 system. Connections can employ encryption if your system
supports it, and the entire Quad9 platform has been designed to be
GDPR-compliant from the first public announcement in 2017.

WHY QUAD9 IS DEDICATED TO DATA PRIVACY

Every transaction on the Internet starts with a DNS event. This name lookup
reveals critically sensitive data about the person triggering that transaction.
The nature of those name lookups has created a strong and dangerous motivation
for commercialization of personal data from DNS recursive resolver services.
Quad9 is the only large DNS resolver with a founding charter that includes
privacy as a primary goal, and the Quad9 team is devoted to the concept of
keeping personal data under the control of the end user.

> Quad9's move to Switzerland is a welcome improvement in the world of public
> resolvers. This change of domicile makes Quad9’s commitment to privacy clear:
> their policies are now bound by the strength of Swiss law. We welcome you to
> your new home in Europe, Quad9!”

Senior DNS Expert,
The Swedish Internet Foundation

> The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) of Switzerland supports the idea of
> conducting Quad9’s activities in a non-profit organisation (NPO) in
> Switzerland. As a neutral location, Switzerland is the premier site for such
> activities. Together, as a Public Private Partnership (PPP), we can make the
> internet safer and position Switzerland as a trustworthy location.”

SECURITY


HOW QUAD9 BLOCKS MALWARE

Quad9 routes your DNS queries through a secure network of servers around the
globe. The system uses threat intelligence from more than a dozen of the
industry’s leading cybersecurity companies to give a real-time perspective on
what websites are safe and what sites are known to include malware or other
threats. If the system detects that the site you want to reach is known to be
infected, you’ll automatically be blocked from entry – keeping your data and
computer safe.


WHY QUAD9 PROVIDES SECURITY SERVICES

For the Internet to be an effective tool, users must trust their ability to use
online services without fear of theft, fraud, or misuse of their devices by
criminals. Public and private network operators need protection against
malicious use of infrastructure resources and attacks against their users or
customers. Quad9’s mission is to improve the security and stability of the
Internet to allow everyone to be less vulnerable to risks and more effective in
their daily online interactions.

HOW TO USE QUAD9

Quad9 can be used simply by setting the DNS server settings for your device to
the addresses given in one of our service profiles. No sign-up is required, no
account data needs to be given to Quad9, and there is no contract. Quad9 is free
to use and collects no personal data about you. You can configure your router or
wifi access point to distribute these settings, which will extend protection to
all the elements on your local network including IoT devices, many of which
otherwise would not have any anti-malware defenses.


WHY PARTICIPATE?

Quad9 is a not-for-profit organization, relying on grants and partnerships with
commercial and non-commercial sources and from individuals. Your use of Quad9
may prevent a ransomware attack, prevent your bank account from being
compromised, or protect your laptop from being used as part of an illicit
criminal attack on others. All of these potential protections and many millions
of other interventions have a direct savings result for you, your business or
organization, and the companies you rely on such as banks and e-commerce firms.
We hope that this understanding may inspire you to donate to Quad9, as an
individual or with a corporate sponsorship.
