📝 Correction | Update Quad9 DNS specificiations
Description
-
Quad9 nation of incorporation is Switzerland, not US (see https://www.quad9.net/news/blog/quad9-public-domain-name-service-moves-to-switzerland-for-maximum-internet-privacy-protection)
-
The "Server Locations" column should probably be set to a map link. We have anycast locations in around 176 data centers, in 92 nations, and that number changes quickly. Our map is https://www.quad9.net/locations/ and it may be more appropriate to link to maps since I would expect most providers to start supplying maps of anycast locations.
-
The answer to the "Logging" column is more appropriately set to "No", or the word "Logging" needs better description. Please see the privacy policy for details.
-
The "Filtering" column should be "Based on server choice" - we offer non-blocking options (see https://www.quad9.net/support/faq#services)
-
The Source Code column should have four entries, as we use (unmodified) four basic software platforms for our DNS resolution: dnsdist (https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns), PowerDNS recursor (https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns), Unbound (https://github.com/NLnetLabs/unbound), and BIND (https://github.com/isc-projects/bind9)
-
The "Hosting Provider" column should be "Self, Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/), i3D (https://www.i3d.net/) and Global Secure Layer (https://globalsecurelayer.com/) - we use all of these methods for primary delivery of DNS responses today.
Why I am making the suggestion
I hope to have Quad9 more accurately described, and the current data is quite old.
My connection with the software
I am the General Manager of Quad9.
