Hi there, I’m looking to get into self-hosting for privacy reasons and I wanted to ask y’all: how inadvisable is it to utilize an ISP-owned router/modem? I feel like they’re able to track everything I do online with their more than likely integrated spyware.
Of the tier 1 servers, 2 are in DE and 2 are in USA.
You won’t really hit tier2 unless you’re trying to hit very specific records.
I think the Tiers work the other way around. But I keep forgetting how DNS and recursive lookup works and I might be wrong.
I don’t think you’re supposed to query Tier 1 servers as a client. The Tier 2 servers would be what people connect to and who do the heavy lifting. The Tier 1 just do the root, authoritative stuff and their custom TLDs for the following network. So we’re not worried about where those are located.
