- martimarkov 5y agoUmm idk if I put 1.1.1.1 as my DNS which root is it targeting? The one in China? Or if I put 0.0.0.0 (IP of EU run DNS server backed by EU run root) then is it still China? There is a simpler solution rather than enforcing EU oversight over root DNSes.

- martimarkov 5y agoHence why I said 0.0.0.0 as a root DNS created and operated by EU
