A DNS4EU Alternative With No 6-Month Logs

DNS4EU is a welcome, EU-backed public resolver launched in 2025 with free child-safety filtering. But it is not a true no-log service — it retains aggregated query data per /24 block for up to six months — and native DNS over QUIC is still on its roadmap (Knot Resolver), not available today. If you want the European values of DNS4EU plus real no-logs privacy and the newest transports right now, AEU DNS is built for exactly that.

Where AEU DNS goes further

Real no-logs, not six-month aggregates

DNS4EU stores aggregated query counts per /24 network for up to six months. AEU DNS keeps no query logs at all — nothing about who asked what is ever written to disk, so there is no six-month window to subpoena, leak or profile.

Native DNS over QUIC today, not on a roadmap

DNS over QUIC (DoQ) and DoH3 are native and live on AEU DNS right now. On DNS4EU, DoQ is still a planned Knot Resolver feature. If you want the latest, lowest-latency encrypted transport today, you already have it here.

Post-quantum by default

AEU DNS negotiates X25519MLKEM768 post-quantum key exchange, so a future quantum computer cannot decrypt today's captured traffic. It also offers Oblivious DoH and per-device mTLS — unlinking who you are from what you look up.

AEU DNS vs DNS4EU — honest comparison

DNS4EU offers valuable, free EU child-safety filtering. This table only compares the privacy and transport dimensions where the two differ.

Frequently asked questions

Does DNS4EU keep logs?
DNS4EU is not a true no-log resolver: it retains aggregated query data per /24 network block for up to six months. AEU DNS keeps no query logs at all.
Does AEU DNS support DNS over QUIC today?
Yes. DNS over QUIC (DoQ) and DoH3 are native and live on AEU DNS right now. On DNS4EU, DoQ is still a planned Knot Resolver feature.
Is AEU DNS EU-based and no-log?
Yes. AEU DNS is run by a small European team and keeps zero query logs — no record of who looked up what is ever stored.
Is it free?
Yes, AEU DNS is free to use today — account, certificate and every feature, with no time or device limits.
What extra privacy does AEU DNS add?
Post-quantum key exchange (X25519MLKEM768), Oblivious DoH and per-device mTLS, so who you are is cryptographically unlinked from what you look up.
