Proprietary tools means passive DNS.
- smarx007 3y agoHow can one avoid their browsing ending up in the passive DNS logs? For example, is using 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, or 9.9.9.9 (CF, Google, and Quad9, respectively) good or bad in this regard? For example, where does Spamhaus get their passive DNS data? They write [1] that it comes from "trusted third parties, including hosting companies, enterprises, and ISPs." But that's rather vague. Are CF, Google, and Quad9 some of those "hosting companies, enterprises, and ISPs"?

- smarx007 3y agoI am totally fine with my ISP seeing my DNS traffic (it is bound by GDPR & more; I trust it more than CF or Google). I want to ensure the DNS traffic info does not leave my ISP (other than to other DNS resolvers recursively). And as per Spamhaus, the DNS traffic in a datacenter may still end up in the Spamhaus passive DNS DB.
