- Comment on [JS Required] EU unveils DNS4EU, a public DNS resolver intended as a European alternative to services like Google’s Public DNS and Cloudflare’s DNS. 7 hours ago:
A yes, a public dns resolver funded by taxpayers money and nothing of it is open source…
Sounds like a massive waste of money to me. Just give someone like Mullvad (they already have a DNS service that is open source) that money instead of trying to be another shitty DNS Resolver.
Also the company behind this ( www.whalebone.io) looks incredibly scummy and their products are mostly buzzword-bullshit. The whole company is basically based on selling a DNS blocklist for as much money as possible.
Also: www.whalebone.io/aura-for-consumers
People want to be safe online. They are even willing to pay for it. They just want their telco to offer them a smooth way to get there. Common cybersecurity products struggle with low adoption rates due to the need for downloads. Whalebone Aura requires no installation or updates and activates with a single click.
That’s sounds a lot like the ISP is implementing some kind of deep network inspection “to protect you from the internet”… aka censoring.
