  That wouldn’t help with an open resolver.

    Use encryption, using vpns for such a trivial task is a “really bad idea”

    There are many cases when somebody wants to have their dns public, maybe they want to share with their friends, family, community, audience (not everyone is a solo server user)

    Also, it’s good to use your dns even before connecting to the vpn. Just use encryption, it’s safe and nice

    Keeping 53 opened is not that bad, the only thing you will notice is an increased load on your server if somebody tried to ddos somebody’s server using your dns

      Use a public dns provider. Cloudflare, route53, dyndns (are they still around?), etc. Cheap, reliable, no worries about joining a ddos by accident. Some services are better left to experts until you really know what you’re doing.

        Cloudflare is not private… not sure if dyndns has even worse reputation than cloudflare

        Some services are better left to experts until you really know what you’re doing.

        DNS, for experts? 😂

        You host your own dns, and don’t work with glowing services, this is the private way
