LibreDNS is a free, open-source encrypted DNS resolver with no detected threats and no commercial funnel.
LibreDNS (libredns.gr) is a public DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS service run by the LibreOps project. Its own pages describe a privacy-first resolver that keeps no logs and uses OpenNIC as its Tier 1 upstream, and the site links to its source code and infrastructure scripts rather than to any checkout, affiliate offer or download. The saved technical checks show a valid encrypted connection and no browser threat feed warning, and the only adverse item is a stale single-engine antivirus flag. The site is a free utility, not a shop or a financial service, so the score reflects a clean, long-archived open-source project rather than a commercial risk.

Why 88/100
Safe covers scores 85–100. 2 findings pulled the score down; 4 pushed it up.
What pulled the score down
- Moderate1 antivirus result marked the URL as suspicious. This comes from a saved antivirus observation rather than a new submission, so treat the detection as real but confirm the timing.
- MinorNo direct contact email was found on the captured page, and no operator entity is disclosed.
What pushed the score up
- SupportsThe site states it keeps no logs, disables logging on its DNS daemon, and uses a local resolver with OpenNIC as Tier 1.
- SupportsThe saved TLS check found a valid encrypted connection and the browser threat feed returned no threat warning.
- SupportsThe Internet Archive has captures of the home page every year between 2019 and 2026, first on October 20, 2019.
- SupportsThe website source code and infrastructure scripts are published under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0, with links to GitLab and GitHub.

Investigation Brief
LibreDNS (libredns.gr) is a public DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS service run by the LibreOps project. Its own pages describe a privacy-first resolver that keeps no logs and uses OpenNIC as its Tier 1 upstream, and the site links to its source code and infrastructure scripts rather than to any checkout, affiliate offer or download. The saved technical checks show a valid encrypted connection and no browser threat feed warning, and the only adverse item is a stale single-engine antivirus flag. The site is a free utility, not a shop or a financial service, so the score reflects a clean, long-archived open-source project rather than a commercial risk.
What LibreDNS actually offers
The page presents LibreDNS as a resolver you can point your device at, with DoH and DoT endpoints and a link to setup instructions. It is a configuration utility for encrypted DNS, not a storefront, a login portal or a download page.
The operator states the service was built to hold a minimum amount of metadata, that logs are disabled for the DNS daemon, and that a local resolver with OpenNIC as Tier 1 handles requests. Those are the site's own claims about its privacy design, and they match the project's stated purpose.
The project is open source: the website code and Ansible scripts are published under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0, and the page links to GitLab and GitHub repositories. That gives independent readers a way to inspect how the service is built.
Technical checks and operator risk
The saved connection check found a valid encrypted connection, and the browser threat feed returned no threat warning. Those results mean no detections were recorded at scan time; they are not a guarantee about the service's future behaviour.
One saved antivirus result marked the URL as suspicious, but that observation is stale and comes from a single engine. It is a real saved detection, not a fresh submission, so it is weighed as a minor caution rather than a current finding.
The .gr registry offers no public lookup this scanner can query, so the registration date was not checked. The Internet Archive has captured the home page every year between 2019 and 2026, first on October 20, 2019, which dates when the site was archived rather than when the domain was registered.
No direct contact email was found on the captured page, and the site does not disclose a registered operator entity. For a free, open-source community service that is a transparency gap, but it is not evidence of fraud, and the project does publish source code and a Matrix channel.
Where the links actually go
The outbound links on the page point to the parent project at libreops.cc, to GitLab and GitHub for source code, to a Matrix room, to an uptime status page, to OpenNIC, and to social accounts. None of these are affiliate, checkout or order paths, and the graph records no commercial intent on any of them.
The only money-related link is a Donate button that leads to OpenCollective to support the LibreOps project. That is a voluntary funding link, not a subscription, a trial or a payment funnel.
Why the score is 88
The saved checks and analysis found no material threat. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Web research findings
Independent findings for libredns.gr, including public complaints, named review sources, registration records, and look-alike-domain evidence. A missing result is shown as unverified, never converted into a clean bill of health.
No independently sourced scam reports or credibility records were found for libredns.gr. That is common for new or low-traffic sites and does not clear the site.
