DNS: privacy & security

Changing a DNS setting is a reasonable thing to be cautious about. Here is exactly what our DNS does — and, just as importantly, what it does not do.

Which domains does the DNS actually touch?
Only the legacy internet-radio directory domains: vtuner.com, radiodenon.com, radiomarantz.com, radiosetup.com and my-noxon.net. Those are the addresses old receivers call to fetch their station list. Nothing else is affected.
Are all my DNS lookups redirected, or only the radio ones?
Only the radio-directory domains above resolve to our server. Every other lookup — your bank, e-mail, websites, apps — is forwarded unchanged to public resolvers (Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 and Google 8.8.8.8) and answered normally. We do not sit in the middle of your other traffic.
Do you keep DNS logs? Is my IP stored?
No. DNS query logging is switched off — the resolver does not record which domains are looked up or from which IP. (The website itself keeps ordinary visit logs when you browse these pages; see the privacy policy.)
Can I apply it only to the receiver, not my whole network?
Yes — and that is what we recommend. Enter our address as the DNS server in the receiver’s own network settings. Then only the receiver uses it; every other device on your network is untouched.
What if I set it on the router instead?
Router-wide setup also works and is convenient, but then every device’s lookups pass through our resolver. Even so, only the five radio domains are redirected — everything else is forwarded to the public resolvers above. If in doubt, use the receiver-only setup.
Could this expose banking or e-mail?
No. We never redirect banking, e-mail, payment or any other domains, and we cannot read traffic that uses HTTPS to sites we do not host. We only answer for the radio-directory names.
How do I undo it?
Set the receiver’s DNS back to Automatic (DHCP), or remove our address from the router’s DNS field. The change takes effect immediately — nothing is left behind on your device.
