In some ways, the NSA is actually not a bad choice: it's constitutionally required to uphold free speech (can't censor anything), and I don't think it can sell your data to advertisers either. And, the NSA can collect your data anyway from US based providers via PRISM or NSLs. The main risk is it creating a MITM.
- surround 7y agoI can’t tell if you’re joking. If this resolver was real, I would rather use a resolver which promises transparency reports and no-logging, and hope it doesn’t fall into the hands of the NSA. Using a resolver by the NSA would guarantee it’s being collected by the NSA. Both options aren’t very good, so I recommend running your own resolver using Unbound.
- dooglius 7y agoI'm being a little tongue-in-cheek, but I don't think what I said is wrong. Sure, it's not the best conceivable choice, but I don't think the NSA would be particularly out of place on this list, given that it includes things like "child-safe" censoring servers. It ultimately depends on what your threat model is.
