"Where is the freedom if you use Free Software but proprietary cloud services?"

Do you need a DNS server without censorship and for privacy?

@Digitalcourage runs a DNS server located in Germany that doesn't log normal user requests:

👉 46.182.19.48
👉 2a02: 2970: 1002: 0: 5054: 8aff: fe12: db49
👉 Encrypted requests DNS-over-TLS

That's why we need F-Droid and/or #Linux based smartphone OS without Google. #UBports
