gca_dre··on IBM Quad9 – A free security solution using DNS to protect against cyber threats
We dont run rpz on the resolver nodes, hopefully when we clear the backlog of things we want to fix/tweak/finish we can get around to dropping some docs on the cool stuff we built/did, and why. #todolist

The problem is all the hugs of death. :(

Website is being worked, dns infrastructure is solid and working well. Sorry for brief response, a bit busy ;)

Yup the team is working on this, sorry about the hiccups. :(

This is a byproduct of edns not being transmitted on 9.9.9.9 resolutions for privacy reasons. 9.9.9.10 will transmit edns, but has no blocking. Soon we will release another ip that will have blocking+edns transmission on it, as well as documentation outlining all this and the differences. We just ran out of time for all that and focused on 9.9.9.9. Sorry for any inconvenience on your end. (Also sorry if my response latency is high, im a big fan of this community so im focusing my attention here as best i can)

So a quick explanation of what we do. (Its on the website as well, sorry if my response latency is high)

We do for a short period of time have the ip address in memory, it is very quickly used to do a geo location look up, that data (the geo location data) then essentially replaces the src ip in the data structure that is used in our logs and telemetry. We can of course as outlined in that page during times of ddos or troubleshooting enable a higher level set (thing router/infrastructure) set of logging that could provide that data to the infrastructure operator (pch). When that occurs that data is not mixed with the “daily operational data” that is generated by the normal functioning of the system. This is/was the best balance we could come up with to maintain privacy and ability to mitigate/resolve technical issues with infrastructure and the operation of what we do with telemetry around blocks in the system.

So quick recap, even when things go sideways and we need to mitigate a ddos or trouble shoot weird routing/anycast/other issues and enable the capture of ip/asn’s that data is generated/processed/used seleratley than the telemtry data we store, generate, and share. (On the sharing side we only share telemetery with the to vendors who gave us data to produce those blocks, so its segmented as well).

Hey guys sorry for lag in response, a bit slammed right now on our side.

9.9.9.10 does not have blocking, it also has edns enabled (so assume less privacy than 9.9.9.9 given edns will be transmitted on 9.9.9.10)

We will make sure to push out some documentation on the different services on each ip. The launch we focused on 9.9.9.9. There will be a blocking +edns ip soon we just dodnt get it done in time. :(
