Check out our Lightning Talk tonight (17:50 MDT) at #NANOG94 on Open, Free, Secure DNS

@bsdphk also for people who don't like the fact that DOH need bootstrap dns to work many privacy / security dns provide ip that work without it : example @quad9dns work over (no bootstrap needed) they also work with dnscrypt that work without requiring this bootstrap too :
https://9.9.9.9/dns-query
https://149.112.112.112/dns-query

dns.sb also provide it

Give us a shout if you'll be at #NANOG94 next week! Quad9 will be there!🏔️ ✈️

A quick look at our Newly Observed Domain data over the last 30 days says that there have been more than 6,000 domains containing the string 'dns' which have seen for the first time- it appears that the #DNS is a fairly popular topic to reference in domain names. Who knew?

@gcvsa @internetsociety We don't often appear on charts since we don't originate from a single ASN like the others, even though we believe we're one of the largest open resolvers that exists. Our network is much more broadly distributed than most & we use partners for our backhaul instead of appearing as a single monolithic network that's easy to measure. The article tho speaks directly to our situation - see recent blog https://www.quad9.net/news/blog/the-public-risk-of-governments-controlling-dns-providers and our issues in France https://www.quad9.net/news/press/quad9-faces-new-dns-censorship-legal-challenge-in-france-from-canal/

@rapha3l @marcel @abuse_ch Quad9 does not have the authority to take down domains, however, if they are included in the block lists of our 30+ threat intelligence providers, users will be protected from reaching those sites.

The "Globe of Wonder" (GoW 😻) is certainly living up to its name - making an appearance with our CTO at #GC3B last week!

@qwertz Then it up to our community to educate them! We're trying!

Glad to see someone is taking notice!
Could the plaintiffs please redirect their effort to the people actually committing the crime? 🤷‍♀️

Tens of Thousands Across Research Institutions Now Protected as FRGP Activates Quad9 DNS Security

#DNS #REN #security #privacy

Today we are very proud to announce the new Internet Pollution Index, a new tracker that visualizes global cyber threat activity in real time, helping network operators, policymakers identify and mitigate malicious Internet behavior.

"After seeing what #MANRS has done for improving #RoutingSecurity, I am optimistic that we can find some common agreed norms for how you find and stop this nonsense in your network before it attacks somebody else, before it trashes the reputation of your IP addresses, and before we have a mess in the Internet."

That was Leslie Daigle's final message to the RIPE NCC community at #RIPE90, after presenting the #InternetPollutionIndex and GCA's work around the #AIDE project.

Proof of Quad9 life (sort of) at #GC3B - at least we think @f0r573r is behind the camera...looking forward to the presentations and discussions this week in Geneva 🇨🇭!

We're also at #GC3B this week! Making the European rounds with the team at #RIPE90 as well! 🌐 ✈️

When #FlaxTyphoon reports emerged, we examined whether its activity was detectable within AIDE, GCA’s #cybersecurity intelligence platform that monitors global network traffic, detects potential threats, and delivers actionable insights to improve network security.

Our analysis revealed behavioral signals and infrastructure overlaps consistent with Flax Typhoon’s tactics—including VPN tunneling, web shell traffic, and credential-based reconnaissance—across sensors located in Taiwan, the United States, Europe, and East Asia.

Key action items for every network operator to take to reduce risk and strengthen network integrity:

👁️ Monitor for unauthorized access attempts and abnormal service behavior.

💪 Strengthen routing security by implementing Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS) best practices and validating route origins with #RPKI.

🤝 Join collaborative intelligence efforts like AIDE, where shared visibility enables shared defense—and actionable data drives real-world mitigation.
