Running a privacy-focused public DNS service is a highly specialized undertaking, and the Quad9 Foundation is the undisputed leader in the field. Rather than duplicating their efforts to achieve only part of what they do, we’re putting those resources toward financially supporting Quad9 instead.
But, like, they only were founded on Moscow, or they had proven links with the Russian government? Because these are two distinct things.
I mean, one might be founded on an authoritarian country but not support any of its shit. Or even fight against it. If I had the resources, that’s what I’d do at least.
I ask sincerely because I don’t know too much about their story and I don’t have energy to research tho.
At least I’ve never used them because I didn’t like the part that an important part of their infrastructure is closed-source.
