First it was OpenDNS selling their souls (and, [y]our data) to Cisco (whom I don’t trust at all with my data).
Now, it’s Dyn — http://www.streetinsider.com/Corporate+News/Oracle+(ORCL)+Enters+Agreement+to+Acquire+DNS+Provider+Dyn/12270020.html — doing something even worse (purely my own opinion).
I’m currently evaluating offerings by FoolDNS & GreenTeam as alternatives and I’ll post updates as I review & test them.
I’m also in search of an open source, RPi-able DNS server with regularly updated Squid-like categorical lists and the ability to white list domains (suggestions welcome in the comments).
I’m a cybersecurity data scientist who knows just what can be done with this type of data when handed to $BIGCORP, and I’m far more concerned with Oracle than Cisco, but I’d rather work with a smaller company who has more reason to not sell me out.
