I noticed that Quad 9 is not able to respond to the spy.pet query:
$ dig spy.pet @9.9.9.9 +short
;; communications error to 9.9.9.9#53: timed out
But Cloudflare DNS is able to do it:
$ dig spy.pet @1.1.1.1 +short
104.26.0.165
104.26.1.165
172.67.74.73
And to be sure, I checked another domain with the same TLD to rule out the option that Quad9 is unable to handle the .pet TLD, but I received a correct answer…
$ dig hello.pet @9.9.9.9 +short
3.64.163.50
Does Quad9 censor DNS queries?
Okay. I figured it out.
9.9.9.9has something they call Threat Blocking. I need to use 9.9.9.10 to keep using their DNS without Threat Blocking.But why are they blocking it?
Because it is a website created by a Kiwifarm transphobic individual who is scalping data from discord and selling access under the disguise of “seeing what your friends are up to” when in reality it is used to harass people.
Ntts did a video on it.
Yo is this whole post a self-report?
