    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 looks incredibly scummy and their products are mostly buzzword-bullshit. The whole company is based on selling a DNS blocklist for as much money as possible.

    Also: https://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.

    Why? Ao they can block what they deem to be a pirate site? Nope. Run your own Adguard Home.

      Not sure about adguard, but unless you are running it with unbound or similar, you still have to point it at a DNS server someone else controls.

      With unbound you go straight to the root hint servers.

    The EU is already trying to block and censor ips via DNS, so I don’t trust this initiative at all, nor, frankly, do I trust the EU as an organization. It should stick to foreign policy, not trying to overrule our national governments to force legislation onto us that we don’t want.

      This isn’t really on topic but since you mentioned it, the only way for Europe to stay relevant is if we integrate more.

        That depends on what you mean by integrate. There are many clear examples where it makes no sense to enforce homogenous legislation. Europe is a big place, and it makes sense to have different systems in different places.

        Take tires for instance - in the Scandinavian countries we require winter tires for the season, something which would make no sense in Italy for instance.
