For a network feeding a data center, sure. For a network like Charter's which is feeding unsophisticated nontechnical users, they need all the messing they can get.
If you're one of the small minority of retail users that knows enough about the technology to pick your own resolver, go ahead. But it's a reasonable default to keep malware out of Grandma's iPad.
R's, John
If it’s such a reasonable default, why don’t any of the public resolvers (e.g. 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9, etc.) do so?
It's a reasonable default behavior *for default resolver servers for consumer eyeball networks*.
I knew that was what John meant, and I can't see any reason why you wouldn't know it too, Owen; this isn't your first rodeo, either.
I knew that’s what he meant and I know what you mean. I still don’t agree. Owen
