Tim: >> Or is it region-fenced? Allowing local (to it) usage, not world- wide.
Mike Wright: > Could be. But François is in France as is fdn.fr. https://www.fdn.fr/renforcement-serveurs-dns-2025/ Auto-translation of that page comes up with this: ------------- begin paste ---------------- Reinforcement of protections for FDN open recursive DNS servers 15 March 2025 by Eric In order to protect our DNS servers from Ongoing DDoS attack on our network, we have just drastically strengthened their protection measures. This enhanced protection will remain in place for an indefinite period, while the attack will cease. What are the consequences for people using our DNS services? None for members of the FDN and FFDN; None for people outside our networks using our DoT and DoH services; An unavailability of our DNS services for the rest of the world. How can we continue to use our DNS services outside the FDN and FFDN networks? By configuring your routers, boxes or browsers to activate the DoT and DoH services. See ours Configuration information. What if that is not possible? We then invite you to use other alternative open recursive DNS servers, a non-exhaustive list of which is available on the Wiki from sebsauvage.net. Thank you for your understanding. ---------------- end paste ------------ So you may need to be some kind of member, or within a specific network, to use some of their servers. And open DNS server doesn't have to be completely open to everyone. DoH and DoT are not the traditional methods used to query DNS servers, you'll need different configuration to use them. I'm not sure what can use *them* beyond a web browser. And I have my misgivings about them being the panacea some suggest they are. For one thing, they circumvent many protective measures we use at the moment. My DNS server block some known problem domains, but they only block regular DNS requests. Likewise with ISP DNS servers. So, if protection is your want, you'd need to find a DoH server which offers it. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
