Hey. My phone is a Pixel 8A Graphene OS Phone.
I am trying to make it a Safe phone. Privacy friendly phone.
Just using this DNS is enough always? Even without a VPN?
@Zerush I did send you a DM.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

Wasn’t there something really similar with dns0.eu? Are these related in any way?
"dns0.eu is a French non‑profit organization founded in 2022 by Romain Cointepas and Olivier Poitrey — co-founders of NextDNS."
whereas
"Supported by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), the European Union's DNS4EU secure-infrastructure project"
so AFAICT the 1st is by (EU) citizens with the technical expertise and selling a related product whereas the 2nd is by the public EU administration.
It's possible, I think that DNS4EU seems a improved version.
I feel there are plenty of local activist/independent servers all over the EU. As long as you mind the encryption/anonymization, you can even round-robin them. Having a central EU authority is better than Google/Cloudflare and should be safe, if the implementation is sound. But there is a lot of room to meddle.
Oh, from the same people who want you to install a mandatory app to access half of the internet? I'll pass
FWIW "Unfiltered option is a valid option for users who are confident their devices and connection are secure, and are looking for fast, reliable, and anonymised resolution service."
I tried this for awhile, but I got occasionally 30 second delays before it starting replying to lookups. It did respond to icmp immediately though.
Interesting, I'd be curious to know if they have quality of service reports, benchmarks against existing alternatives.
It's tempting but if performance, e.g. latency or reliability, sucks then despite the effort I wouldn't use it.
Do they resolve thepiratebay[dot]org?
