Yeah I don't see what's silly about providing a resolver with the features being offered, no matter the "EU" branding or official project funding. Right off the bat I'm willing to bet these guys are more genuine and honest about privacy/integrity than e.g. Google.

There is nothing silly about the product specifically. It's useful. However they already built it: https://nextdns.io/ What I am calling silly is not dns0. It's the way the EU is funding technology projects.

I personally think that's a good thing, to provide funding and opportunity for gratis service projects with less risk of deviating in the way things often do in commercial context where revenue is the top priority.

How is this a "silly EU vanity project"?

There is an EU fund for silly projects like Gaia-X which are mostly about vanity rather than actually producing anything useful. I am suggesting they've formed a non-profit to try and benefit from this fund.

Gaia-X isn't EU funded, it was just endorsed by EU parliament members. It's actually funded by different entities in the manufacturing industries (like car manufacturers). EU funded projects have distinctive markers on their pages.

Why do you need to remember the dns server address? I just type it in once.

Once on every device, VM, container, VPS, etc. That's a lot of times.

My devices get their dns servers via DHCP. So I enter it only once on the DHCP server.

If you’re running so many devices, you probably want to use your own DNS server too (for internal name resolution), so you can also set the upstream just there.

Doesn't disclose where their blocklists come from for the child product, hugely overblocks legitimate websites, has no appeals process for miscatagorisation. What an awful product.

Can you provide any examples of legitimate sites that they block on their "zero" resolvers?

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

The EU Commission has a DNS project that they tendered to various private companies. They want the majority of EU internet through something they can directly regulate and control EU internet users.

DNS is a very cheap service to run so I wonder if the founders intended to get a first mover advantage and to be subsumed into the project

It has quite extreme filtering: - No porn or other adult websites - No explicit search results - No mature videos on YouTube - No dating websites or apps - No mixed-content websites - No piracy - No ads

That seems to be only the case for the "childproof" version.

Unless I'm missing something this is the filtering for `kids.dns0.eu` not the ones on `dns0.eu`.
