  • Privacy: Unlike many other DNS services, Quad9 makes use of aggregated data, but by design does not store, correlate or otherwise employ any personally identifiable information (PII).

  • Security: Quad9 makes security a chief priority to deliver superior protection against cybercrime networks and malware, integrating security analysis from individual machines’ DNS queries to global trends.

  • Ease of use: Administrators can easily configure endpoint devices to point to the Quad9 DNS server at address 9.9.9.9.
