GoKawiilMullvad to shut down public encrypted DNS servers, endorses Quad9
Mullvad announced it will shut down its public DNS-over-HTTPS servers, which it has operated since 2022, and redirect support to Quad9 instead. The company said running a privacy-focused public DNS service is highly specialized work best left to Quad9's dedicated team, and it will now fund Quad9 rather than duplicate its efforts. Mullvad Browser users on default settings will be automatically switched to Quad9, while manual configurations must be updated before November 2, 2026.
