1. Family Friendly DNS (Cloudflare) – Ideal for Safe Family & Public Guest WiFi
1.1.1.3 / 1.0.0.3
What it blocks & key features:
- Blocks malware, phishing, and adult content automatically.
- Perfect for homes, cafés, hotels, or offices where you want to keep guest browsing family-safe without manual filtering.
- One of the fastest public DNS resolvers in the world (consistently tops DNSPerf rankings).
- Full support for encrypted DNS: DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DNS-over-TLS (DoT) for extra privacy.
Privacy & logging:
Zero logging of IP addresses or query data. No data sold. Independently audited annually. Why it’s perfect for guest internet access:
Guests get clean, fast browsing without ever seeing adult sites or malware redirects. You avoid legal headaches and keep your guest network reputation spotless. Recommended for: Families, small businesses, schools, and any public hotspot that wants simple “set-and-forget” content control.
2. Anti-Malware + CDN Optimised (Quad9 Secured w/ ECS) – Best for Performance & Threat Protection
9.9.9.11 / 149.112.112.11
What it blocks & key features:
- Blocks malware, phishing, spyware, botnets, and malicious domains in real time (670+ million blocks per day).
- EDNS Client Subnet (ECS) enabled — sends partial location data to CDNs so guests get the fastest possible content delivery from Netflix, YouTube, Google, etc.
- DNSSEC validation for cryptographically verified answers.
Privacy & logging:
No IP addresses or personal data logged. Swiss-based non-profit foundation, GDPR-compliant since 2017, and protected by strict Swiss privacy laws (no forced data retention). Why it’s perfect for guest internet access:
The ECS + CDN optimisation means guests on your WiFi experience zero buffering even on bandwidth-heavy sites, while the aggressive malware blocking stops drive-by downloads and phishing before they start. Ideal for high-traffic guest networks. Recommended for: Hotels, co-working spaces, cafés, and any guest WiFi where speed + maximum threat protection matter.
3. Standard Secure DNS (Quad9) – Balanced Security Without ECS
9.9.9.9 / 149.112.112.112
What it blocks & key features:
- Same powerful malware, phishing, and threat blocking as the ECS version (powered by 25+ global cybersecurity intelligence feeds).
- DNSSEC validation included.
- No ECS — perfect if your router or guests are already routed to the nearest Quad9 cluster.
Privacy & logging:
Identical strict no-logging policy as the ECS variant — zero IP logging, Swiss privacy protection. Why it’s perfect for guest internet access:
Simple, ultra-reliable security for everyday guest use. Blocks known bad domains instantly while keeping resolution fast and private. Great baseline option when you don’t need extra CDN geo-targeting. Recommended for: Home offices, Airbnb hosts, or any guest network wanting straightforward, high-security DNS without extras.
