I noticed on [1] that you list 8.8.9.9 as Google's DNS server. Did you mean 8.8.4.4? If I `dig @8.8.9.9 ..` I get no response. [1] https://startyourownisp.co

- grahamburger 9y agoWoops I think so! Thanks nice catch!
- lucb1e 9y agoWhy use Google DNS? We have no idea what's being done with the data, and 'apt install bind9' + two configuration options is enough to run your own.
- grahamburger 9y agoAgreed that this is a better solution but the point of the site is to get from 0 to 1 customer as simply as possible and setting up a DNS server adds a complication. Another HN user recommended opennic, though - I might change the recommendation from Google to something like that.
- lucb1e 9y agoI see. OpenDNS would be another, but I'm not sure who owns them (iirc they were bought by someone that made me go "ah, no more OpenDNS for me" but I might misremember). Opennic I didn't know of, I'll check that out next time I need a resolver somewhere :)
- saagarjha 9y agoThey may have meant 8.8.8.8 as well.
