I created a light DNS page for me. - sh.itjust.works

It’s kind of common for me to change DNS servers frequently, so I created a light page which list all the DNS servers that I know of that does not log DNS requests. **Link:**https://secu.pages.dev/ [https://secu.pages.dev/] I wanted to post it here for people who are like me and needed a project like this.

There’s plenty to add from OpenNIC and you get access to some addition TLDs as a bonus ;)

Actually supporting more TLDs is a security risk, so I cannot add them.

I will not add it for now, but I might think about it later.

Thank you for your suggestion.

How?

Malware distributors buy very cheap domains with uncommon TLDs and then use it.

I don’t understand how that would be a security risk to you. Even if I understood what the threat vector was, it would be very inefficient to use an OpenNIC tld to spread malware as you only target 0.0001% (random very low number) of internet users.

Here is a article talking about malware operators forcing opennic to drop one of their TLDs back in 2019:

Here is a article from sophos talking about malware using OpenNIC in 2021:

Here is a article that talk about recent(2023) attack that use OpenNIC:

As you can see, malware can target me and you based on opennic.

From what I read these articles talk about post infection use of OpenNIC tlds. Anyway it was just a suggestion, it’s always a good idea to only use DNS servers you trust :)
