NextDNS: The new firewall for the modern Internet (nextdns.io)

There are a few large red flags:

1) It's not a firewall. "Firewall" is a specific thing, and while this service can, in some ways, act like a firewall, it absolutely is not one.

2) Decisions in "nanoseconds"? It's poor marketing to misrepresent. Sure, technically ten seconds is a certain number of nanoseconds, which makes this statement meaningless, but it's still trying too hard.

3) I see no information about the company. Who are these people, and why should we trust them? Which countries do they use for their services / servers, and which countries' laws are they subject to?


Not affiliated in any way, I just think the company and product are great.
