EOL — so long and goodnight

Jul 19, 2021 is the first time I released this project to the public — it was 3 years ago as I wrote this. There are several DNS resolvers out there, yet I joined the party with a primary focus on low latency and "edgy" features like DNS-Over-QUIC and Oblivious DoH. Zero-logging, however, is not a feature, it's in the DNA.

And today, there are tons of private; no-log, privacy-respecting DNS resolvers out there. Some are better and some are the best.

I also believe internet should sucks less. If you don't know what the internet looks like today, just turn off your uBlock Origin and DNS Sinkhole and that's what most internet users see and feel.

In an alternate universe, or on my other side, making the internet less sucks means just leaving it alone. Go offline, touch grace grass, read books, explore the city, go to new places — enjoy the screen being off.

And now, my mobility is more... dynamic than before. I don't live in one place for a long time anymore. And for a reason, I always use consumer VPNs whenever I'm online outside my home network and use the DNS provided by my VPN provider as I trust them.

To summarize, I will rarely use edgyDNS anymore and plan to shut it down. The service (including edgyDERP) will be live until August 10, 2024, and I hope you guys use the alternatives. My personal recommendations are NextDNS, Quad9 and Mullvad, but it would be great if you use a self-hosting solution like AdGuardHome, Blocky, or Pi-hole!

I have no idea how many users of the edgyDNS has since I don't log anything, but as a good internet citizen, I should say farewell and not ghost you all.

Thank you for trusting edgyDNS! The sunset is beautiful, isn't it?
