Like the idea. But…
1) Claim privacy first and then have a cookie banner.
2) Say “routing” when you mean location/IP based DNS.
3) Is that a loosely typed language in the scripting engine? Not sure I would want DNS queries to be relying on that.
I am sure there is still some innovation left in DNS. SDDNS I’d call it: Software defined DNS. Especially with the splinternet we are walking into these days. Just don’t think this version cuts it. Nevertheless an interesting company to follow. I see potential.
- viraptor 5y agoCookies as tech say nothing about privacy. If you want to store information that you refuse to share your private data - that almost certainly is getting stored in a cookie. You can route connections on different layers than IP routing. We commonly talk about http request routing as in dispatch based on the domain/path. I'm happy with "routing" as in directing traffic via DNS resolution. I doubt anyone here is confusing that.
- sleepyhead 5y agoThey store a FB cookie and they store it before user accepts the cookie banner.
- viraptor 5y agoSure, that's not very privacy-friendly, but that's a different claim than what OP wrote.
- skrause 5y ago> Cookies as tech say nothing about privacy. But cookie banners do. Essential cookies that are required e.g. to store login data no not require a cookie banner (https://github.blog/2020-12-17-no-cookie-for-you/ https://github.blog/2020-12-17-no-cookie-for-you/). So if there is a cookie banner you can assume that the site wants to store analytics, tracking or advertising cookies.

As a former network engineer the title "We're transforming internet routing" and subtitle "Rethinking Internet Routing" [my emphasis] makes me think of IP based routing first. I think they could have been clearer or picked a less grandiose title. Don't get me wrong, on the surface this looks like a neat tool.
- winrid 5y agoThe application being privacy focused and the marketing site using normal marketing optimization techniques are different things.
- madeofpalk 5y agoOn the other hand, it's usually best to lead by example and "put your money where your mouth is".
- winrid 5y agoYes, and lose a bunch of money. :) You could argue cold calling is worse than a tracking cookie. But I would still have salesmen cold call for a privacy focused product, for example.
- dejangp 5y agoAbsolutely correct on the privacy. We're actually dropping everything from Google / Facebook and anything third-party at the moment (since it's not technically legal in Europe anyway). It will be a bit of a process though.
