After Gandi was bought up and started taking extortion level prices for their domains I’ve been looking for an excuse to migrate registrar. Last week I decided to bite the bullet and move to Porkbun as I have another domain renewal coming up. However after setting up an account and paying for the transfer for 4 domains, I realized their DNS services are provided by Cloudflare!
I personally do not use Cloudflare, and stay far away from all of their products for various reasons.
Thanks! Learned something today. Last time I opened port 53 to the public it didn’t take long and I was sending out several Megabits per second in DNS traffic. Constantly. Mostly querying the same few things. But I guess I had it the wrong way round and that wasn’t the target. Or I’ve seen a different attack type… Guess I can now try again with the new knowledge.
