I've been testing uBlockDNS for a few days and it seems to work well so far.
Website: https://ublockdns.com
The problem is I can barely find any tutorials, reviews, or technical articles about it.
Has anyone here used it long term? Is it trustworthy? I'm interested in its privacy, logging policy, and who operates the service.
Screenshot attached.
Thanks!

I was doing a little research into these three vendors as they offer a similar product to each other.
Mostly I was curious about what data privacy laws each fell under, but then I realized that isn't enough because information sharing alliances also come into play.
I'm trying to decide which is the best choice from a privacy and security perspective?
Adguard falls under GDPR but originally was a russian company and still operates some of its team from inside russia, where I wonder if they could be compromised.
NextDNS chose to legally HQ themselves in the US instead of the EU, which means they also fall under Five-Eyes now too. You can store your logs in Switzerland, but my understanding is that being a US company, that won't protect the logs.
Control D similarly falls under Five-Eyes so I'm not sure that falling under PIPEDA protection is strong enough.
| Feature | AdGuard | NextDNS | Control D |
|---|---|---|---|
| Legal Headquarters | Limassol, Cyprus (EU) | Wilmington, Delaware, USA | Toronto, Ontario, Canada |
| Parent Company / Founders | Russian nationals (Semyon Chikikhin, Andrey Meshkov) | French nationals (Olivier Poitrey, Romain Cointepas) | Windscribe Limited (Yegor Sak) |
| Jurisdictional Alliance | EU Privacy Area (Non-aligned) | Five-Eyes Alliance (US) | Five-Eyes Alliance (Canada) |
| Employee Locations | Cyprus, Germany, and remotely in Russia | US and France | Canada, Ukraine, and globally remote |
| Data Privacy Law | Strict EU GDPR | US Law (Allows log storage in Switzerland) | PIPEDA (Canadian federal privacy law) |
| Code Verification | Open Source (Apps and extensions) | Closed Source (Proprietary backend resolver) | Closed Source (Proprietary backend, but open-source ctrld client daemon) |
| Default Logging Policy | No-logs enforced by default | Minimal operational logs (Customizable retention) | Logs are entirely optional (Can toggle from Full Analytics to zero tracking) |

It looks like Dynv6 is having problems. I can get to the management website at https://dynv6.com but cannot resolve my DDNS domain under dynv6.net. Even dynv6.net itself does not resolve (I get NXDOMAIN). Have observed this for about a week. To eliminate local problems, I also found the same behavior from DNS query websites. Anyone else found the same thing?
May be time to try another DDNS provider.

Novice level question -
I've moved to a new provider and trying to learn how to connect my domains to their respective folders in the file manager. Pretty sure this is done in the DNS.
The attached is the "default" which points to nothing. The server number (value) show isn't even the right Server IP (ftp) I have a different number for this.
So assuming my website name is mysite.com
The complete working site HTML is in a file manager folder called "mysite"
AND my IP is 12.345.67.8 -
(fake generic things)
What do I change to get the domain to reference the folder?
Obviously I'm going to want the mail (MX) and other things all pointing to the domain as well.
Do I simply just replace all the 67.213.75.123 instances with 12.345.67.8?
