Nice try CloudFlare,
but I'm still picking Quad9 any day over you:

https://www.quad9.net/

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

why do you like it better?

[–] Rikj000@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't trust CloudFlare with my data,
assume they will sell it since it's a for-profit company.

Meanwhile Quad9 touts about not logging IPs and being GDPR compliant.

is quad9 a nonprofit?

what makes them trustworthy wih that claim?

[–] Guntrigger@feddit.ch 18 points 2 years ago

I Googled them because I was interested. The answer is yes.

Sony failed to sue them, hoping to force them to block copyright breach adjacent DNS resolvers. That feels like a badge of honour.

9.9.9.9 has twice the latency for me. Why pick quad9 over, say, 1.1.1.2?

Twice the latency for DNS results? Care to give concrete examples? DNS is usually very fast. Twice as long as very fast is still pretty quick, in my opinion.

I'm always on VPN, so latencies add up.

dig +stats @1.1.1.1 www.google.com | grep '[\d]+ msec'

gives me 10-20ms using a nearby vpn server

dig +stats @9.9.9.9 www.google.com | grep '[\d]+ msec'

gets me 30-50 ms, and not rarely >100ms.

kinda hate how they don't provide dns with dnssec but no malware blocking (i prefer my dns to always just resolve stuff regardless if it's "malware" or not)
also their default dns does has ECS disabled (they have an alternative one tho)

Oh wow, that might be the shortest-representation IPv6 DNS server I've seen to date: 2620:fe::9

[–] p1mrx@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

2a09:: 2a11:: and 2409:: are the shortest.

[–] litchralee@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do you recommend dns.sb?

[–] p1mrx@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I found them via IP address, so I don't know anything about the company beyond that.

That’s networks, not hosts

[–] PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You can have .0 as a host. 10.0.1.0/23 is a perfectly valid host, same with 10.0.0.255/23

[–] SteveTech@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Nah, apparently it's completely valid to end IPv6 addresses with a 0. And I haven't done much research, but it seems IPv6 really doesn't have network addresses the way IPv4 does.

Also you can ping them and they reply.
