It's kind of common for me to change DNS servers frequently, so I created a light page which list all the DNS servers that I know of that does not log DNS requests.

Link: https://secu.pages.dev/

I wanted to post it here for people who are like me and needed a project like this.

What about quad9? Do they log queries?

Interesting, thanks

Controversial question probably but what is with one.one.one.one (Cloudflare).

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

What about the IPv4 versions? I use Mullvad and ControlD on my router that only accepts IPv4 for DNS configuration.

[-] TCB13@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

For a website hosted at Cloudflare I was expecting to see it there 😂

We should make a server that has a database of all these numbers and let's you do lookup queries in real time. And we could make that process part of the protocol stack that every device uses.

I think you just invented DNS DNS, or Meta-DNS, MDNS? 🤣

Bookmarked. Thanks

[-] epoch@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Wow, thank you! I didn't know many of those!

There's plenty to add from OpenNIC and you get access to some addition TLDs as a bonus ;)

Actually supporting more TLDs is a security risk, so I cannot add them.

I will not add it for now, but I might think about it later.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Malware distributors buy very cheap domains with uncommon TLDs and then use it.

[-] smpl@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

I don't understand how that would be a security risk to you. Even if I understood what the threat vector was, it would be very inefficient to use an OpenNIC tld to spread malware as you only target 0.0001% (random very low number) of internet users.

Here is a article talking about malware operators forcing OpenNIC to drop one of their TLDs back in 2019:

Here is a article from sophos talking about malware using OpenNIC in 2021:

Here is a article that talk about recent(2023) attack that use OpenNIC:

As you can see, malware can target me and you based on OpenNIC.

From what I read these articles talk about post infection use of OpenNIC tlds. Anyway it was just a suggestion, it's always a good idea to only use DNS servers you trust :)
