Seems a little odd that the fediverse uses Cloudfare.
I had several cases where suddenly Websites not work. after a lot of tests. I was only able to solve it because I changed the DNS back to the provider DNS. I never found what it caused. Then I changed it back. that worked some Weeks, then i had again Problems. Now I use again and permanent the provider dns.
For DNS? It’s an alternative for that, but not for the huge amount of other services Cloudflare provides.
I use it for dns
same. but i also use mullvad because it adds to encrypted dns (doh or dot only), several levels of filtering to choose from. this allows you to have some basic (can’t edit filter lists yourself) ‘pi-hole’ functionality without having to have a pi-hole available.
I used to use quad 9 but stopped using it after running into too many issues where it provided completely wrong results. Like not even outdated results just straight up wrong values that never existed, with both public websites as well as customer dns entries that I have managed for over a decade.
That’s odd, never had that issue and I’ve used it a long time. Even for my own domains changes propagate as quickly as any other DNS server I’ve used. Were your changes propagated to google, cloud flare, and the rest? Anyway, very weird since DNS propagation is pretty automated usually unless something is not propagating to any DNS server.
Everything else has correct results except for them. Some of the entries were years since being changed, then all of a sudden pointed elsewhere. Quick to troubleshoot but quite annoying.
I haven’t used them since. Troubleshooting that kind of shit is not what I want to be spending my time on.
