that means, that google (the owner of 8.8.8.8) gets a log of all my gnupg activity by default, that's not very privacy oriented. But I see the problem, of a nameverser that is a good default for everyone. And I can overwrite the default nameserver... On the other side I'm still puzzeld, how dirmngr can use of Tor for DNS lookups, if the Tor features for DNS are too limited? As DNS is UDP so that it can't routed through tor. Best Regards, sandro
