HaGeZi DNS is a free, non-commercial public DNS resolver that redirects its landing page to its own GitHub project.
root.hagezi.org is the landing host for HaGeZi DNS, a free public DNS resolver service. The page identifies itself as "HaGeZi DNS: Free, Non-Commercial EU Public DNS Servers" and automatically forwards the browser to the hagezi/dns-servers project on GitHub. Independent research describes the service as one that blocks ads, tracking, analytics and telemetry as well as phishing, malware, scam, fake and cryptojacking domains. No commercial calls-to-action, affiliate funnels or paid mechanisms were identified on the host. The score reflects a benign, non-commercial utility with no adverse technical findings, held below the top of the Safe band because the site's own contact details were not fully reviewed and the scanned address was served over plain HTTP.

Investigation Brief
root.hagezi.org is the landing host for HaGeZi DNS, a free public DNS resolver service. The page identifies itself as "HaGeZi DNS: Free, Non-Commercial EU Public DNS Servers" and automatically forwards the browser to the hagezi/dns-servers project on GitHub. Independent research describes the service as one that blocks ads, tracking, analytics and telemetry as well as phishing, malware, scam, fake and cryptojacking domains. No commercial calls-to-action, affiliate funnels or paid mechanisms were identified on the host. The score reflects a benign, non-commercial utility with no adverse technical findings, held below the top of the Safe band because the site's own contact details were not fully reviewed and the scanned address was served over plain HTTP.
A Free Public DNS Resolver, Not a Commercial Site
The landing page presents the project as "HaGeZi DNS: Free, Non-Commercial EU Public DNS Servers" and points to the hagezi/dns-servers GitHub project. That matches the independent research record, which describes free, non-commercial DNS servers that filter advertising, tracking, analytics, metrics and telemetry alongside phishing, malware, scam, fake and cryptojacking domains. There is no shop, subscription, wallet connection or paid tier visible on this host.
The only navigation event recorded is an automatic forward of the browser to the hagezi/dns-servers GitHub repository. For a resolver project, a GitHub destination is the expected home of its code and documentation rather than an unrelated third-party destination; there is no affiliate parameter, checkout or account form in the observed path.
Clean Technical Signals, With Two Minor Caveats
The browser threat feed returned no threat warning for the host, which means no known malware, phishing or unwanted-software listing is attached to it. A valid TLS certificate exists for the host, but the scanned address was served over plain HTTP with no redirect to HTTPS, so a visitor's connection to this specific address was not encrypted in transit. That is a transport detail, not evidence of interception or credential theft on this page.
The site's own contact details were not reviewed because its page text was not read in full, so operator transparency could not be fully assessed. The registrable parent domain, hagezi.org, is 354 days old at the time of the scan; this does not establish the age of the subdomain itself. Neither of these is a scam indicator on its own, but they are the reason the score is not placed at the very top of the Safe band rather than a genuine adverse finding.
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.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
