WHOIS redaction is a standard feature of domain registrars these days, about N-1 TLDs support it, and like you said I can vote with my feet (and I am).
- kube-system 3y agoThere are hundreds of TLDs that prohibit proxy registrations. .us is one of many. e.g. https://www.domain.com/help/article/domain-management-tlds-not-supporting-privacy https://www.domain.com/help/article/domain-management-tlds-n... It is quite logical for TLDs with nexus requirements. Not every TLD operates like a free-for-all in the way some of the more popular gTLDs do.
- ssnepenthe 3y agoSomething I've been wondering about lately - maybe you have some insight into how this works? The .in TLD doesn't allow privacy protection as seen in the list you linked above but whois still shows "Redacted for Privacy Purposes" for everything but the country and state/province of the registrant.
- kube-system 3y agoI'm not sure about .in specifically, but it is worth noting that the information you are required to provide to register a domain and the information that is published on WHOIS is not necessarily the same.
