Re: Public DNS Servers
I just run my own local DNS server using PowerDNS Recursor. I've never had any issues with it.

Re: Public DNS Servers
Cisco does own OpenDNS/Umbrella, and it does have some more "premium" features now. I still use OpenDNS - but day job uses Umbrella and I like the default filtering available on some of their other servers (208.67.222.123 / 208.67.220.123) as I'm not a fan of having adult websites show up even by accident in my house. That being said I've seen that CloudFlare now offers something similar on 1.1.1.3 and 1.0.0.3 but as you mentioned Michael, that uses DNS over HTTPS (DOH!) and I haven't liked the idea of anything rogue being able to make a request on my network without me being able to log it. If it's a DNS request - I expect it to use 53/UDP like it was designed so that *I *can decide whether it should be talking on my network or not. I'll play around with it when I have more time to see what type of solution I can wrap around it. I like the idea, and love privacy, but everything using https just feels icky? on some level? Maybe it's just the Cox / Jeff Flake visit still impacting my bias. - Thomas Scott | mr.thomas.sc...@gmail.com On Thu, Jun 25, 2020 at 10:34 AM Michael Butash via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > I'll just say "OpenDNS" is now owned by Cisco, thus will never be > open-anything again, so don't let the name fool you.

Re: Public DNS Servers
I'll just say "OpenDNS" is now owned by Cisco, thus will never be open-anything again, so don't let the name fool you. It's now part of their "umbrella" feature they sell in security appliances for dns inspection. I wouldn't be surprised if there's an upsell from free to be had somewhere these days, with Cisco there always is. I'd recommend CloudFlare dns, which also does https-based dns for encryption, and you can't really forget their 1.1.1.1 dns server address. These are highly anycast routed around the world, and tends to result in good use for me when I need to use one on the road or test externally quick without looking up an external dns. Your ISP should tend to have fast DNS putting local servers in your area. I use my CL DNS on my firewall, and my firewall acts as a local cache/authoritative dns for a few local internal domains I use, which is usually enough to ensure DNS isn't an issue for me. -mb On Thu, Jun 25, 2020 at 1:03 AM Andrew McRobb via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > I can't speak much about privacy, but I've used OpenDNS in the past with > no problems.

Public DNS Servers
Hi All, I was curious if anyone has any recommendations for free public DNS servers that they've used. I've been using OpenNic for a while, but in the last two days I'm experiencing a lot of trouble with domains not resolving. I'm using Google's (8.8.8.8) right now and things are much better. But, I thought I'd ping the Plug list for other recommendations. Reliability and privacy are the priority in that order (with privacy a close second). I don't need all the add on features of parental controls, malicious site blocking, etc. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
