DNS4EU a new European DNS resolver

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

DNS4EU is an initiative by the European Commission that aims to offer an alternative to the public DNS resolvers currently dominating the market.​

Supported by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), the European Union's DNS4EU secure-infrastructure project provides a protective, privacy-compliant, and resilient DNS service to strengthen the EU’s digital sovereignty and enhance digital security for European Union citizens, governments, and institutions.

The program provides robust DNS security for public institutions and their employees, ministries, local governments or municipalities, healthcare, education, and other critical services such as telecommunications providers. By working with the latter, for example, it ensures DNS resolution service for all of a telco’s customers, with minimum manual overhead for their teams.

Additionally, the DNS4EU solutions aid organizations in complying with regulatory requirements (such as GDPR) to keep data within European borders.

As these organizations often face challenges to independently developing and maintaining high-level cybersecurity measures (such as election cycles or funding), the DNS4EU project solves these challenges by providing a Europe-based, centralized, scalable solution to ensure the highest standards of security and privacy, compliant with EU regulations.

Who is involved in the development and research?​

The entire project is managed by an international consortium, comprising private cybersecurity companies, CERTs, and academic institutions from 10 European Union countries​

Leader of the consortium is Whalebone.

• Whalebone - a cybersecurity company developing user-centric products for Telcos, ISPs, and enterprises. It provides millions of internet users as above seamless DNS security, protecting them from malware, phishing schemes, ransomware, and other malicious digital attacks without the need to download anything.
• Other members of the consortium are CZ.NIC (CZ), CVUT (CZ), Time.lex (BE), deSEC (DE), HUN-REN (HU), ABILAB (IT), NASK (PL), DNSC (RO). Inseparable role plays associated partners that provide the consortium with consultation and sharing know-how.

Associated partners are F-SECURE (FI), CESNET (CZ), Ministry of Electronic Governance (BG), Centro Nacional de Ciberseguranca (PT).

Very cool, I am curious to see how well it can block websites versus Quad9 and dns0.eu

DNS0 scores slightly better than Quad9 in tests, but has more false positives; for my region, Q9 is way faster.
There is another good DNS sever for blocking malware and ads; however, its cons it has no servers outside Germany; tried it, the same latency for DNS0.
