Is this yours / do you know how this works? The responses seem pretty good, although one of the three recommended for me is giving invalid data for google.com, and it's giving me the same three servers for several different connections in the USA, some very distant from others.
I have my reservations about blindly using DNS servers without verifying their ownership and control. Consider entering "www.wellsfargo.com" into a browser. If a bogus DNS server returned a hacker's server, it could redirect you to wellsfargo.wildcard-cert-based-attacker.com. The people here might figure out that something is awry, but I think we all know people that would not catch it. Of course this is possible in theory even without the DNS server operator being malicious, but it's considerably more difficult.
- thristian 17y agoGiven than one of the IP addresses I was given reverse-resolved to "adsl-69-111-95-106.dsl.chic01.pacbell.net", which I assume is a consumer DSL service in Chicago, I think you're right to have reservations. EDIT: I got the same three IP address from a host in the continental USA, and from a host in Australia; I imagine it's just serving the same three hosts to everybody. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
- lucumo 17y agoI got the same three, I think: 204.74.97.104 rdns3pxpa.ultradns.net 209.213.196.218 eth0.sfo001dn01.yipes.com 69.111.95.106 adsl-69-111-95-106.dsl.chic01.pacbell.net Definitely something weird going on. I'm located in The Netherlands.
- asmosoinio 17y agoSame here -- I am using an IP in the Philippines: 204.74.97.104 209.213.196.218 69.111.95.106
- boundlessdreamz 17y agoSame here. From Indian IP. Something very fishy. Probably will redirect some X% of the DNS queries to spam/phishing sites ?
