Also Quad9 is Swiss which may actually better than EU?

Mullvad DNS has been great also.

Not sure why would it be better. EU provides strict personal data regulations guarantees

Switzerland has pretty decent privacy laws of its own, why you think Swiss bank accounts are a meme?

I was wondering about some of the fuckery around piracy in the EU atm:

This project provides the European Commission with no means of censorship. Furthermore, this would be against the goals of the project, which aims to strengthen digital sovereignty. The EU will not have access to configuration, data, etc. On top of that, DNS4EU will not be forced on anyone. It will merely abide to local regulations required of internet service provider. In other words, DNS4EU is not a way toward censorship, but actually toward data protection and better internet security and sovereignty for Europeans.

Cause they have nazi gold in their banks. Your data is belong to them. Don't be confused!

In Canada we have CIRA Canadian Shield

Switzerland has done a 180 on that. A new amendment would require all VPN services, messaging apps, and social networks to identify and retain user data.

Have you looked into their privacy policy, is it alright?

Seems quite easy to remember with a nice jingle, like the emergency number... 0118 999 881 999 119 725. 3.

Run your own DNS resolver

How does DNS4EU support NIS2?

“Member states should encourage the development and use of public and secure European DNS resolver service.” NIS2 directive, 2023

DNS4EU, a European initiative, presents multiple avenues for establishing a secure and compliant DNS resolver, aligning seamlessly with EU regulations. Its base lies in the cornerstone EU documents such as the Cybersecurity Strategy of the EU.

Finally, it was recommended in the European Parliament and Council’s directive NIS2.

only one point - the whole setup is...

This confuses the fuck out of me because my VPN in Switzerland using TLS DNS shows Germany as the country in DNS leak tests.

The Swiss DNS provider doesn’t have servers in Switzerland?

800 588 2300 Empire today

So it will censor stuff as requested by governments

Why? Ao they can block what they deem to be a pirate site? Nope. Run your own Adguard Home.

This isn't implemented yet, sadly we also have stupid politicians like the rest of the world.

The EU is already trying to block and censor ips via DNS, so I don't trust this initiative at all, nor, frankly, do I trust the EU as an organization. It should stick to foreign policy, not trying to overrule our national governments to force legislation onto us that we don't want.

It's not just the nazis. Rich fucks from all over the world keep money there to hide it from authorities. Though I guess that's changing now.

You should read their policy

Quad9 is a Swiss org, but it operates at hundreds of PoPs inside many different countries (anywhere PCH has a presence), their addresses are anycast so it'll use whatever the upstream routes/BGP dictate.

Both Quad9 and CloudFlare have the closest DNS for my network, at around 1ms RTT. However CloudFlare doesn't support ECS, so I use the alternate Quad9 service that does, since it gives me better performance on a number of CDNs.
