If it's not for you it's not for you. I always wonder about people who go to a French restaurant and want Pizza.

Probably the best pizza I’ve ever had in my life was at a French restaurant in Vientiane, Laos. So, yeah…

"Migas? A Mexican restaurant in Beirut? I'm impressed."

My router runs Unbound in order to rotate queries across a number of different DNS-over-TLS providers. I'll toss these guys into the mix as well out of curiosity just to see how it goes.

Why not just have unbound make the query itself? no need to depend on a third party recursive resolver if you already have your own.

I want to ensure my leg on the network traffic path is encrypted.

> They offer three families of resolvers Yeah, I see. On first reading, that wasn't obvious to me. But a DNS provider that can filter, and that also purports to be something to do with the EU, presumably imposes EU-mandated filtering, whichever server you choose. Or it will, as soon as it's ordered to. I don't get why people use 3rd-party resolvers. It's not hard to set up an Unbound recursor.

Think about how many people want to at least keep their children safe online and do not have an easy means to do so. This helps make simple solutions accessible to a wider audience. Sure you may not care if your children are watching porn at age 6 .. some may prefer to parent differently. Giving people an option is not a bad thing, and it does not purport to be anything to do with the EU itself, just built for the EU…

Golly - there's a few strawmen there.

* My children are in their thirties, and don't live with me. I live on my own now, but I was a good parent.

* I didn't suggest that using this service should be banned; I just asked why people don't run their own recursive DNS.

* And I have no idea where you got the notion that I confuse Fedex with the US government.

Which doesn't do ad blocking.

Yeah i don't want that at a "not controlled by me" level.

For what it's worth: nextdns.io, Adblock DNS, etc., give you granular control at DNS level, both which lists to use, but also overrides.

AdBlock DNS also gives you full custom rules engine and DSL.

2.0.0.0/16 and 2.2.0.0/16 are owned by Orange, a European company. I'm sure they'd be willing to lease 2.2.2.0/24 and 2.0.0.0/24 for a nominal fee 5.4.0.0/14 (so 5.5.5.5) is Telefonica Germany. Same thing there. Mercedes owns 53.0.0.0/8 which feels like a nice number for DNS too.

Telefonica and Orange are hardly companies that would just let you lease "valuable" ipv4 addresses without having to pay a hefty sum.

If you only lease something the owner can at any time take your business and efforts from you.

The EU will actually start offering an official European DNS service later this year, not to be confused with this private initiative

It's called DNS4EU: https://www.whalebone.io/dns4eu

Whalebone? Doesn't sound like an official EU domain.
