Description

The DNS4EU project, initiated by the European Commission, aims to create a secure, EU-based alternative to existing public DNS resolvers. DNS4EU provides EU citizens, companies, and institutions with a privacy-compliant and resilient recursive DNS, ensuring that DNS traffic data remains within the European Union and supports digital sovereignty and online privacy.

The presentation is focused on the public service aspect of the DNS4EU project from the perspective of a Site Reliability Engineer. We will provide insights into the preparations before launching the DNS4EU public resolvers, observations during and after the launch phase as well as subsequent adjustments, all accompanied by anonymized statistics gathered from their operation.

Summary

Short introduction of DNS4EU project with the list of actions performed before and after launch of Public DNS4EU resolver followed by one slide with statistics from current usage.
