Amazing news!
The one thing I wish they’d support is multiple zones and an RBAC system to grant certain users access to specific zones. If they’d offer that they’d be a serious contender to replace Cloudflare and AWS/GCP DNS

#212Wow they made something free that I’ve used for 30+ years and have never paid for in my life. Amazing, what an accomplishment! What Herculean effort it must have taken!
What the hell am I missing here?

Not sure. They were cheaper than DigitalOcean, to the point where 1 DO instance cost would give you 3 on Hetzner, but now they're at parity, and DO seems to have a better product.
Why do you think it's a better product? Slicker interface?
Probably more versatile. Hetzner is just VPSes. They do not offer any PaaS product like managed DBs, managed Redis, wahtever.

Something still has to locate the resource you want, and that will involve something equivalent to DNS.
Sure but it's a different game if instead of finding the machine that has the data, it can find any machine that has the data. That machine might be elsewhere on your lan or elsewhere in your city.
But that's not how DNS works. It does not find /the/ node that matches the host element of the resource. It finds a list of nodes (often a subset of eligible nodes).

KYC is a thing in Europe. Internet infrastructure businesses won't do business anonymously as they'd be held liable for anything their anonymous customer did.
Isn't mullvad european?
Yes, but nobody is by default held liable for their anonymous customers. Otherwise you would not be able to buy anything with cash any more.

Besides $1 means you need to give them your credit card from day one. That's probably the only reason they have that minimum limit to begin with.

Most European hosting providers don't KYC. Infrastructure providers are rarely held liable for customer actions in Europe. Most enforcement around this sort of thing is around sanctions violations (Stark Industries).

It's not an accurate correction. It's prepaid with an ability to incur a small amount of negative balance, partly for protection against downtime or data loss and partly so the systems can have some time to shut off (it would be hard to suspend service immediately across all services). However it is purely prepaid in that they don't provide a postpaid option.
That's a very uncharitable way of dismissing my claim that the parent claim of the service stopping automatically when you go over your credits is not true. That's one thing. The second thing, I'm happy for you that you have more information about their pricing system than their pricing page and terms of service page state.
It's inaccurate to say that it isn't purely prepaid, because that could be taken to mean that some services are available to be postpaid, with a due date. Here you can see that a negative balance isn't the same sort of thing as having a postpaid bill due: https://support.bunny.net/hc/en-us/articles/8726637076124-My...

Many people will realize this soon.
Especially if private equity gets their hands on buying Bunny.net.

Domain Registrars usually have shitty, subpar DNS eg. without Anycast or DNSSEC.
If i have understood correctly, Anycast is not feature of DNS but a feature of BGP. Otherwise, that is my observation also.
I believe they're referring to the DNS servers. The closer they are to the user, the faster a DNS resolution happens.
A good provider will have different locations across the world, and users connect to the nearest datacentre. The free DNS some domain registrars offer is, sometimes, hosted at one single location. If the server is in the US and the user is in Europe, you're adding 80-150ms to requests. If they use "anycast" servers, the user could connect to a server 1-20ms away.
