I'm sure soon they'll be having one of their annual power outages too.

And an outage of their excellent 2FA system. Oh wait, they don’t have one.

They provide a variety of free public services. I doubt the funding allocated for such projects is crazy high, and it likely rides on the backs of a few super talented engineers. Beggars can't be choosers. Were it a paid service then I could better understand your complaints. I'm willing to bet if you reached out to them, inquiring about the lack of any feature, then they would likely explain why it has yet to be implemented.

Racing to bottom sucks for everyone…

What's the meaning of this negative commentary? Is HE known to be at the bottom? I have been using their DNS services for a decade and don't think I've ever experienced a problem. In fact I am impressed at what they offer for free.

They do indeed provide some excellent quality services to the public, without asking any payment in return. I love their BGP tools, among many others.

Yeah, same here. I've used HE tunnels and DNS for close to a decade myself and have zero complaints about the free public service they provide.

They use TOPT or am I missing something?

All of my personal racks and (roughly) 1/5 of rsync.net have been inside the he.net core datacenter for 12 years.

I have never experienced a single power outage. Warm Springs datacenter.

Genuinely curious what you're talking about ?

Just guessing but they might be referring to their first datacenter in Fremont. No idea if it is even still around but their first DC was a hot mess. The newer one which is likely the one you are in was a night and day difference. The newer one had redundant power and networking and was built professionally. I say newer but this was a long time ago.
