一句话看懂
Mullvad VPN shuts its public encrypted DNS servers on Nov 2, 2026, and sponsors Quad9. Users who manually configured the service must migrate before the cutoff.
背景
Mullvad VPN has operated public DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) servers since 2022 as a free privacy service. The company now says running such infrastructure duplicates work already done by the Quad9 Foundation, a nonprofit privacy-focused DNS provider, and requires specialized expertise. Mullvad will instead financially support Quad9, and points users to Quad9's migration guides.
