We use both Cloudflare DNS and Google DNS, so we are safe.
I am contained within the jar I cannot cause such damage.
That's not a premium router.
Fucking Tata.
I switched to running unbound recently. Before that, ControlD over doh.
It doesn't looks like the cause, however:
Caught this on NANOG..
"The only reason they even appeared is because the actual route announced
by CF disappeared.
All 1.1.1.1 related prefixes (v6 included) were withdrawn around the
same time."
So it was actually a CF event.. Has CF commented yet? I can't find anything except the radar entry and the original incident report. Super curious what actually happened.
As always,
die cloudflare die
well hopefully it all gets sorted out.

Amen. Frankly I've always wondered why people were so inclined to feed data on all their internet habits to these corporations when running your own resolver is so ridiculously simple. Mind you he isn't referring to individuals in that comment, but still.
To his actual point (although again he's really talking about higher up the food chain) when I get a system from a new-to-me provider and see google or cf in resolv.conf I wonder why they're feeding all their customers' dns data to these internet ogres.
Incompetence or malice? Probably just indifference, but it's a thing I note (much like non-standard v6 assignments).
Keep it real,
die cloudflare die
They where assigned as best and fastest DNS, so....
Sites visited isn't sharing private data. It wasn't even encrypted until recent security additions in the last decade.
Trading the sites I visit for a robust and convenient DNS system with no cost to me is fine by me.
You can live in a world paying by cash or crypto, I'm happy to tap my credit card and get my 2% back. Or sign up for my grocery store to get points. Oh no, they might find out what I like to buy and stock it!
If you want to rant about stupid Facebook users, though, I won't argue.
It's not private data but I don't see the point of feeding it directly to the enemy. What's the benefit you get from using 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8? I understand robust (in spite of thread topic :P) but what's convenient about it?
I don't think I've ever not run my own dns since I first installed slack from floppies, but what's Joe Average getting from using Google's resolvers besides the warm glow of conformity?
God i love Quad9, cloudflare as a backup (google is gay). running my own adguard home on a vps is comfy ngl
@zed, nothing, just tracking.
Stay with your own isp dns.
Haha I thought it was my internet, I set quad9 as my main dns now
I use 9999/8888
I'm away in Mexico right now and it appears there was a power outage at my place in Canada. My main PC is on a UPS but didn't come back up.
Had a hardware fail take out my DNS server, EVERYTHING is fucked, not just one PC.
Using ISP DNS is horrible. Going to Google or Cloudflare is millions more reliable.
I don't need to worry about powering two machines, DNS amplification attacks, or opening up to the outside world when I'm not at home or VPN.
Hardware cost over 25 years: $0
Man hours installing, patching, upgrading, etc over 25 years: 0
Can you demonstrate any harm or impact if another company knew the websites you visit? I can't. I know I'll get better targeted ads, which is fine by me. I grew up with commercials on TV with tampon commercials wasting my time. Now ads are tech based, for shit I like.
But I'm Canadian. If I was an immigrant in the US, I suppose I'd care a lot more, especially with the dirty shit Trump administration does to foreigners (and Rosie) just because he doesn't like you or your sane opinions.
I don't understand this at all, if you're talking about a resolver and you're not home anyway who cares if PC2 can't resolve netflix.com until you fix it? If you're talking about authoritative servers you probably shouldn't do that at home unless you're being clever.
(For example, for several years I ran a hidden master on my lan that nsX.he.net pulled data from (and over ipv6 for a static address too!), but even if something happened to my hidden master it would have been weeks before the data served by nsX.he.net went stale.)
It's probably true CF, G, the 9.9.9.9 guys etc are more reliable, and I know some ISPs have tried to do some silly shit in the name of monetization, but I don't think I agree with a blanket "ISP DNS is horrible". That's essentially a meme. The % of people on an internet connection that have specifically switched to using one of those is probably still relatively minor.
Every freebsd or linux box installation I've done over the last 30ish years has come with a resolver, no extra charge and mostly no extra effort. It's possible they're not a default anymore but I haven't noticed. I certainly have never stood up a box just to run dns at home.
My question was what's the benefit, I never made any claim of harm or impact. Again, I see no point in giving them extra info about me without some benefit in return. I mean, I still might not do it because ornery and stubborn but whatever.
Well, I'm sure he'll annex Canada eventually so you won't be a foreigner anymore.
Apologies for the interleaving, your response was sort of all over the place and I didn't want to accidentally miss something important.
edit: I forgot,
die cloudflare die
i advise to use two resolvers from different companies regards
I'm still waiting for refugee deals.
Or you have you are running your own DNS resolves.
yeah this is highly advised if you're a nerd
