What's the impact of this kind of thinking on intentionally "misconfigured" DNS resolvers like Google Public DNS, OpenDNS, etc? Is CloudFlare pushing for a world where I have no choice but my ISP's DNS servers, which return their advertising server's IP instead of NXDOMAIN?
- agwa 14y agoGoogle Public DNS uses rate limiting and some heuristics to reduce the likelihood of being used in a DNS amplification attack [1]. I presume OpenDNS does something similar. Even if public DNS resolvers didn't exist, you could still run your own private recursive name server (either on your computer or on your home router) and avoid your ISP's. That's what I do.
