No IPv6 in 2023, is this a joke?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not everyone has the resources of a Google to acquire lucky IP addresses.

Well you'd think the EU would have more resources than a single company.

This is not something from the EU as the organization, but from a French non-profit.

There's IPv6, but I see it's not suggested by default except for Linux configuration and on the Others tab.

So the end of NextDNS ?

NextDNS lets me pick what to block, I can't configure DNS0 except for the few variants that require me to change the DNS address completely. Also: I can't pay for DNS0, so how can I trust they stay up when I'm not their customer?

How can you trust they stay up when you are their customer and pay them?

This is founded by co-founders of NextDNS. But why? How is it different?

Because NextDNS is a for-profit company they probably can't get funding from the EU for these silly EU vanity projects so easily.

If you have no working DNS, it's hard to google stuff...

There are two types of people - those that just want dns to work at all so they can get stuff done, and those who have working dns but want to 'upgrade' for privacy/filtering reasons.

Is this actually affiliated with the EU, other than just being hosted in the EU?

Not affiliated with EU at all. Their branding and wording makes it look like they are until you scroll to the bottom and read the About.

Admittedly I don't live in the EU so to some of you folks the non-affiliation may seem obvious.

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