rdns dev here > Rethink uses cloud services by default? There isn't anything sinister going on here with the use of "cloud services" [0][1]. Rethink, which is geared more towards anti-censorship, has its default resolver "ip-fronted" on Cloudflare (whose IPs are seldom blocked) and it works great in countries where the app is popular. Users can opt to switch to any DoH, DoT, ODoH, DNSCrypt v3 resolver of their choice. In fact, we encourage users on our reddit/telegram groups to use ODoH (we also run a public-facing ODoH proxy) and DNSCrypt upstreams because of their privacy guarantees.

FWIW, Netguard's UI feels like one of an average opensource mobile app, while Rethink is a very polished experience. Well done!

> rdns dev here I have a question for you about RethinkDNS: Can you point me the link to one thread or question about Netguard on some major internet forums like HN, Reddit or similar, where you or other RethinkDNS devs did not jump in and hijacked the thread? Only one example, please? Your spammy marketing tactics of spamming makes your product looks like a scum, and I don't even have a desire to test. Also, why do you keep comparing one on device firewall like Netguard with a cloud first solution like RethinkDNS?
