Thoughts on RethinkDNS. Firewall, Privacy, Ads, all-in-one app for privacy.
sky is a stub resolver, which after stripping out all request information, forwards the dns query to both Cloudflare and Google DoH servers (code), and replies from which ever responds back the fastest. Both the client app and the resolver (server) are open source, so if you find any leaks and know what's up, we're open to changes.

Using Cloudflare Gateway as an alternative to Pi-hole to block ads, trackers and other bad domains
There is also https://github.com/serverless-dns/serverless-dns that works on user-configurable list combinations using Cloudflare Workers (100k queries per day), though it can't be integrated with WARP.

Logs? Max or Sky?
Max (fly.io) and Sky (cloudflare) are both are no logs. You can examine the code to ascertain this (here) and also check the version of the code we've deployed too (via github actions).

Any future plans of adding an ad-blocking DNS server?
You can selfhost your own adblocking server on Cloudflare Workers and edit the upstream, you get Quad9 malware filtering, Cloudflare's nearest servers, and whatever blocking list you want.

RethinkDNS
Took us wayyy longer than originally planned, because not only personal life got in the way, we also run our own resolver (open source) maintaining which took away some of our time too. Especially, as the costs were mounting, we couldn't ignore it and had to optimize it as much as we could (which we since have).
-
Encrypted DNS, what's the point?
Even those who weren't interested in self-hosting might spend a couple of minutes hosting their own DNS proxy since it's much more flexible and don't require root or dedicated port (at least with DoH).

Meet the triumvirate: rec, sec, and pec
I swear this idea wasn't generated over chats and coffee with GPT3; though, most of the code for this feature was most certainly written by it (commit). Be careful with your reviews of this feature then; you don't want to upset a sentient Optimus Prime AI.

NextDNS vs Control D as compared by Control D owner
If you are deploying your own rdns, then logs and analytics are up and running (check the github readme). NRDs and other things will happen as we near launch (in a month or two, perhaps). But we are just 2 developers, and our time is really all spent on the Android app, and not the service...

Cloudflare like DNS - Self-hosted or with more privacy
