DEATH TO AMERICA
:xickos:

this is a thread to talk about what dns service to use.

googles dns is bad because, well, its google.
opendns blocks porn
lol at giving cloudflare even more of your browsing data

so what do you guys use? for a while i was janitoring my dns server on a vps, using the "trust-dns" rust project. its written in rust so you know its fast. but recently ive been using safedns because its easier and only $19.95 per year for home use.

what are you guys using.

I stopped using my isp's DNS bc it's unreliable and goes down sometimes and my isp has enough trouble with just being a pipe to the internet that I don't want them to take care of more things than they strictly need to

isp dnses often have that garbo where it goes to a search page if the url is wrong instead of a 404. they allow opting out but it’s done via a cookie on the device so nope

also once someone suggested upgrading the fibre modem? it’s currently that chinese brand that spies on literally everyone. huawei or something

i have it set to 1.1.1.1 and i used to use 8.8.8.8

basically if you have a fun and exciting new dns service with a novel ip i will probably use it!

cloudflare's DNS team is amazingly good at what they do.

the WAF team.... eh maybe not so much. they're decent at developing rules for novel exploits, but haven't bothered to clean out a bunch of old cruft that's garbage. the rule that got pissy about too many punctuation characters in sequence was a particular favorite.

I have mine cable-tied to the underside of my desk. It has required exactly one piece of whitelist janitoring to make a streaming service work, otherwise it is extremely good.
