Nice try CloudFlare,
but I’m still picking Quad9 any day over you:Oh wow, that might be the shortest-representation IPv6 DNS server I’ve seen to date: 2620:fe::9
2a09:: 2a11:: and 2409:: are the shortest.
Do you recommend dns.sb?
I found them via IP address, so I don’t know anything about the company beyond that.
That’s networks, not hosts
Nah, apparently it’s completely valid to end IPv6 addresses with a 0. And I haven’t done much research, but it seems IPv6 really doesn’t have network addresses the way IPv4 does.
Also you can ping them and they reply.
You can have .0 as a host. 10.0.1.0/23 is a perfectly valid host, same with 10.0.0.255/23
For the modern IP (aka IPv6) folks: 2606:4700:4700::1111
Other brands of IPv6 DNS servers are available.
Ah, just rolls off the tongue
It is quite the mouthful, but I really hope people aren’t – whether v4 or v6 – having to manually type in DNS servers regularly. Whatever your choice of DNS server, it should be a set-it-and-forget-it affair, so the one-off lookup time becomes negligible.
DoT and DoH can be entered as URLs, this is the Quad9 example but there are several others:
tls://dns.quad9.net
you are the only cloudfare DNS for me?
there’s no place like 127.0.0.1
“there’s no place like localhost?”
Yeah, it’s so out of touch, at least put “192.168.1.*” or something. It’s very individualistic.
