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 any company you pay to stay up even if you are their customer? I've used discontinued products before. Paid subscriptions to companies that merge with others and the service no longer really exists.

The chances of a company that runs on mystical grants vs one that runs with actual customer money just suddenly going under are different.

It's like Google's stuff. It's free, but you're not the customer, you're the product.

They make it seem like they're affiliated with the EU, from brand colors, to TLD, and more. But of course they're unaffiliated. Seems intentionally deceptive.

The blurb makes it crystal clear that it's talking about location or situs. In other words, regulated by EU regulations. The TLD is specifically for sites that are "in" the EU (as opposed to being "by" te EU).

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

Because I give them money to keep the lights on?

That way they don't need to rely on grants or investors who usually need hockey stick growth and make the business do stupid things.

This is why I used to pay for pinboard (before the admin disappeared again) and still pay for Newsblur.

Before i start digging into it, does anybody know how they do "No mature videos on YouTube" (in the "kids" filter) with just DNS?

It appears this is functionality provided by YouTube themselves where you can set a CNAME: https://support.google.com/a/answer/6214622?hl=en#zippy=%2Co...

I just use quad9: https://www.quad9.net/service/service-addresses-and-features

I wish they'd put more resolvers around the globe. I have 10ms ping to the nearest Cloudflare colocation, but around 100ms to quad9. It makes browsing the web so much slower.

90 ms. So much.

The DNS responds with forcesafesearch.google.com for google.com.
