NextDNS logging is opt-out, not opt-in as stated on PG's DNS Resolvers recommendations page

That wasn’t my point. My point was, the part where PrivacyGuides highlights NextDNS’ “log storage location” feature is misleading in light of their use of all these other global service providers. Imagine if a VPN provider told you they stored connection logs in some location but then streamed it out to users with GCP, AWS, and Cloudflare having access to it in plaintext.

Again: It is about how transparent a provider is about the services they use. Not about what they can and can’t use.

You’ll notice that it is a separate endpoint and not the one sold to users or recommended by PrivacyGuides. Cloudflare does the same (they’ve got a Mozilla specific endpoint).

Incredible. I mention how X works because I’ve been there, done that, and this is how you insult me. What a colossal dumpster fire. I feel sorry I even bother.

NDAs are signed before you even take such meetings.

If I were to recommend something like this, I’d email the developers and clarify with them what data they collect from user requests, how they process / de-anonymize them, and how they vet who they share it with.

Privacy and security can clash at times.
