Seems a little odd that the fediverse uses Cloudfare.

    I used to use quad 9 but stopped using it after running into too many issues where it provided completely wrong results. Like not even outdated results just straight up wrong values that never existed, with both public websites as well as customer dns entries that I have managed for over a decade.

        Registrar, nameserver, hosting provider, reverse proxy, authentication provider, they do lots of things now.

        Yes but I wasn’t using CloudFlare at all. The domains were registered with Tucows and only quad9 had incorrect DNS lookups.

      That’s odd, never had that issue and I’ve used it a long time. Even for my own domains changes propagate as quickly as any other DNS server I’ve used. Were your changes propagated to google, cloud flare, and the rest? Anyway, very weird since DNS propagation is pretty automated usually unless something is not propagating to any DNS server.

        Everything else has correct results except for them. Some of the entries were years since being changed, then all of a sudden pointed elsewhere. Quick to troubleshoot but quite annoying.

        I haven’t used them since. Troubleshooting that kind of shit is not what I want to be spending my time on.
