The EU wants to stop feeding your DNS queries to Silicon Valley.
DNS4EU is the European Commission’s attempt to build a sovereign DNS resolver infrastructure that doesn’t route all your web lookups through the likes of Google, or Cloudflare.
DNS4EU aims to bring DNS resolution under EU oversight and privacy rules.
So, if you want 🇪🇺-backed ad-blocking and child protection, you may want to give it a try.

in reply to FoolishOwl • • •(And, no, the root name servers are not controlled by the US government - except the three managed by the US military and the NASA - but it is another story.)

in reply to Stéphane Bortzmeyer • • •well they have still a lot of influence through companies like verysign and such, so I'd add a "technically" to that 2nd part though.
Klaus Frank
in reply to FoolishOwl • • •No, also they're technically not US controlled (anymore). They're part of some international agreement and considered inter-governmental organizations and so on...

in reply to Klaus Frank • • •For instance, root name servers are *not* managed by ICANN (except one; L-root).
Klaus Frank
in reply to Stéphane Bortzmeyer • • •well then you would have known what I meant with international agreements and such. So either you don't or you're posting nonsense...

in reply to Graham Cluley • • •There are so many things wrong in this ad, it is hard to start. Let's begin with the picture: the DNS query is not happy with both EU and Google and goes further away?

in reply to Stéphane Bortzmeyer • • •Then, the biggest problem: do you know anything about the #DNS? Are you aware that most users don't use a public resolver but rather a local resolver maintained by their access provider, their employer or university, or even themselves?
Why should they switch to a public resolver? (I know several reasons but you did not mention them.)

in reply to Stéphane Bortzmeyer • • •Then, *if* you want to use a public resolver *and* *if* you want it to be european, there are several european public resolvers, created years ago before the bureaucratic and slow European Commission project.

in reply to Cassandrich • • •This isn't a system for the EU to restrict information from older teens, but a way for parents to allow internet use for children without letting them be overwhelmed by all the adult shit that dominates the web. It you want your kids to see that shit, then feel free - no one will stop you.

this is your irregular reminder that conservatives will always categorise 2SLGBTQIA+ materials as 'adult material', claiming that we are 'groomers', 'sexual predators', and the like. they will also categorise sex education materials as such, too.
you cannot trust anyone who claims to be 'thinking of the children'.
