title: DNS for Civil Society

We offer a DNS resolver for use by civil society organisations to protect their devices against malware, spyware, and
other attacks. Attempts to look up domain names that have been seen used as part of attacks will fail stopping the
attacker and preventing data loss or other systems compromise.

The status of this service is currently **experimental** and feedback is welcomed.

### How to use

Configure your system to use the following IP addresses for DNS resolution:

* 144.76.160.194
* 2a01:4f8:2210:23ea::4

### False positives

Occasionally, we will have false positives where a legitimate domain name is blocked accidentally. We hope these to be
less frequent over time. If you find a domain that is blocked that shouldn't be, please report this to
[contact@sr2.uk](mailto:contact@sr2.uk).

### Roadmap

We are always looking for additional threat intelligence feeds to integrate with our existing feeds. In the future
we hope to also offer additional IP addresses for different combinations of feeds (e.g. blocking malware, blocking
advertisements). We also hope to offer anycast addresses to improve the speed of the resolver.

### Support

This services is provided free of charge for use by civil society organisations, however we appreciated donations
to help cover our running and development costs. You can donate via our
[Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/sr2comm) page.
