Wow this is great, I've been using OpenDNS for a while but I've been disappointed that occasionally I will type an invalid domain name and get redirected to their search engine... before that, it was my ISP.
Glad to hear I can get expected responses when querying for a domain that doesn't actually exist.
Haha, I would love some Google mocha, but back on the matter at hand, I think that a nice fast DNS resolver is great, but the only concern I have is with how the dns query data is handled. Is it logged? Is it disposed of immediately (as should be to avoid any privacy concerns)? I dont want my browsing habits scrutinized by someone who happens to be able to see what IP my google account is logged into, *and* can see what DNS queries my IP is making... All I am saying is that when low level services are managed by people with access to high level information, privacy and annonymity are due to take a hit.
What steps will Google be taking to protect the privacy of people using this service? Will you be caching logs of lookups and associating them with people's Google accounts, thusly giving a complete view of all Internet activity coming out of any given machine?
I've added the DNS to my router, and connections have doubled in speed!
If I type single words into my firefox adress bar, I does however take quite a while before the dns returns a lookup error, and firefox redirects me to the 'feeling lucky' I wanted.
Main thing I'm interested in is how to refresh Google's cache. I regularly am migrating clients to different providers (mail, web, etc.) and the OpenDNS ability to refresh their cache immediately is quite handy.
@dave: Right in the main post is a link to http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/privacy.html which directly answers your questions. Why don't you read it?
(But because you probably won't: No, nothing is aggregated.)
I think it's time, that OpenDNS providers block Google for 2-3 days, so Google will stop this project and improve open DNS service instead. "We are evil" should be the new google slogan...
@pkasting I had already read that, I was simply saying that caching of user data from DNS queries is OK for 48 hours like they say *because* they are not aggregating it with personal userdata from the other google services. The little question at the end was more of a joking "are you sure?" (said like a naive child) than anything serious. I have been using Google's wonderful products since the day that they started letting us have access to their infant search system way back in the day. If I didnt trust them to be responsible with any info that they gleen from my computer usage habits, I wouldnt be anywhere near this site (they can see my IP!! and stuff...). lol On a serious note, I only raised the concern because this type of issue is something that we have to worry about, even with a privacy policy put up saying that such things will never happen. Caution is our only ally some days.
Chaz6... in fairness, I think that the DNS for that domain is just broken.
From Comcast: % dig @68.87.69.146 mirror.ipv6.chaz6.com in aaaa | grep 'status' ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 32642
From a local Seattle-area ISP: % dig @ns1.eskimo.com mirror.ipv6.chaz6.com in aaaa | grep 'status' ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 12524
Meanwhile, another query for an IPv6 address via Google DNS turns up okay: % dig @8.8.8.8 ipv6.research.microsoft.com in aaaa | grep 'status' ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 18117
...I think chaz6.com's DNS is to blame, not Google's.
Unfortunately Goodle DNS has the same problem with OpenDNS, i.e. where the websites use region specific cache servers such as akamai.
Worse still is when the ISPs use some forms of cache proxy servers. E.g. here in NZ, OpenDNS and now Google DNS cannot server these sites correctly. One example is engadget.com. Pity.
That is because none of those dns servers are ipv6-connected. The dns servers authoritative for ipv6.chaz6.com. are not reachable with ipv4. There is a difference between having an AAAA record and being able to reach DNS servers over IPv6.
Try `dig +trace ipv6.chaz6.com. in ns` and then look up the addresses of those dns servers.
The ping times for these servers are consistently under 20ms for me, with a total response time of under 40 ms. This is plenty fast enough for a name resolver. The primary issue will be reliability, and I would suspect it will be higher than my ISP, which slows to a crawl frequently, and also better than running it on my own machine, as nearly everything will be cached at Google, and little is cached locally. In fact, resolving google.com from my own (flushed cache) machine requires twice as long as doing so via Google's (cached) server.
Hilarious people thinking Google needs their private information so bad...
1. Redirect is to google search. More you use Google search, and better Google search is to the websites you want with Google adverts... the more they make money.
2. Really? trust openDNS more than Google? Who stands more to loose if they do something crazy?
3. The faster and more ubiquitous the internet is... the more people use it... the more people use Google and the more adverts served up by Google people see.
Sure, be wary of any company... but most of the concerns people throw out are purely reactionary and thoughtless.
For these who advocate OpenDNS, I used them for a while, then discontinued. There are too many unknowns, and I deem their policies unacceptable for me.
nifty, but broken in it's implemnentation because it fills it's own cache from diseperate locations. This is going to cause problems for any large network which uses anycast dns to ensure clients are routed to the nearest network resource.
I've been using OpenDNS for 2+ years, love the service, but looking for some change. I like the filter options they got, but that's not really all I use it for....I got a hosts file + Peerblock for that kind of stuff anyhow....
I think I'll give Google DNS a whirl/test just to see how I like it. Sort of a "vacation" from the "web search" redirects for NXDOMAIN sites, etc that I encounter, fighting spam domains at inboxrevenge forums :)
@Dave: watch out for the word "free" ! Sure they are logging everything.. Your mail with gmail, your browsing everytime you use google, and almost 70% of the sites out there use adsense, so your presence there is already logged.
TO answer all privacy concerns, why would google be more likely to keep data than the provider of your current DNS. Would Google jeopardise their position by being untrustworthy.
I'm not sure I understand what Google are doing here??
Is this just (and only) for browsing the internet? I.e. I type www.domain.com into the browser, then I bypass looking at that domains chosen NS for the host servers IP address, in favour of Google doing a live look-up on it? If so... hmmm... I just can't see that Google can do a look-up and quicker than a decent ISP, especially not if I want a UK site on a UK ISP.
Perhaps I'm barking up the wrong tree, but I currently don't understand.
Cheers Google for making this new venture clear to us end users.
This is intimately connected wit the recent patent awarded on using a top level domain as a url shortener. See http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=974111
Google will probably just buy these guys and own the whole DNS / tinyurl space.
Perhaps we will all benefit in the end with more DNS resolvers available to us. But I am afraid of Google taking over the world, beginning with me.. Bottom line, is it faster than OpenDNS? Will give it a bash.
After scanning our emails from gmail, know what we like on youtube, our profiles on orkut ... now they want to know about our site ... GOOGLE is a weapon for New World Order NWO
Thanks and I have tested google DNS seems to be working alright from Sri Lanka via Mobitel HSDPA connection. I have used openDNS in the past. I just want to make sure things are clear to me. What makes Google DNS better than others like OpenDNS? or provided by ISP? (Internet Service Providers) DNS?
Is is possible to configure our own custom domain names in the DNS server ?
As for example, if I need to check whether my application (hosted on a web server on my server) benefits from Google's DNS server in terms of performance, can I configure my own domain name/IP address combination ?
im ok with my current speed,plus most of time taken to load a page is not the DNS resolution but rather latency from throughput restrictions. This is another clear cut example of why we should not just believe everything google says.
I've been using 4.2.2.1 - 4.2.2.6 for a few years. It works beautifully. Also I've noticed that Cox Cable's DNS servers are public too. I don't even use my isp's dns servers (bellsouth, now AT&T) because I know they're overloaded. Weren't the IP's it uses (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) part of IBM's Global Services, or am I thinking of 9.0.0.0?
I've been using Open Dns because its fast and I can block categories of servers (adult, pornography, parked domains) and 8.8.8.8 will be easy to remember, but it appears to be a bit slower than Open DNS. Since I'm about all things Google I'm glad to help test.
This is very nice, i have tested some domains and seeming very fast resolver as compared to others like openDNS and my own ISP.... :). Keep it up nice work. Now need some security implementations...

google are the king of search. Any DNS request relies on search technology. This is why Google is faster than your local ISP. Did you read the article? They can provide DNS lookup in the time it takes a packet to do a round trip.
Privacy concerns will be exactly the same as with any other google services (gmail, blogger, youtube, even search). If you dont like it, dont use it. easy.
Also, * they only know your ip address, not you. * your ip address identifies your computer, not you. * your data on your computer is just as accessible to anyone else as it is to google. * anything you send to google will be accessible by google. * If you dont want google to see what sites you visit, dont use google dns. (your ISP probably logs it anyway)
This has been around so long, and many of us actually saw this coming, this is part of the Open Roots, and is not new at all. Actually in retrospec, they are do nothing more then what is already in place on a global scale. The only question I have for Google, is are you going to handle the other TLD's and HOW? Are you conforming to the ICANN way of life, or are you actually going to use the inclusive name spacing? Hope you guys did your homework.

Good one on Introducing Google Public DNS: A new DNS resolver from Google.If you are interested in developing a home based business then http://debtfreeliving.ilovesuccess.net can help you. They provide a Top Rate ethical home-based business that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home.
I'd been using Google Public DNS since Dec 24th 2009, and I'm not at all impressed. The biggest issues I had with it is that it made google websites and services mostly fail. google.com, gmail, googleanalytics which a lot of sites have used now, would all not work most of the time. I switched back to my own in-house DNS after getting them back up after some major overhaul work to my servers and I was back in business no problem.
I don't know why specifically Google's Public DNS would not work for their own sites, but wow, that was not very fun at all once I realized the cause was the DNS. I'd have never suspected it.
ya it is good work to speed the web also catch the data what people searching and which are new website user using.... A NEW APPROCH TO FIND NEW TRENDS...
Interesting.
ReplyDeleteBut when will I be able to drink in a Google managed coffee shop?
ReplyDeleteWow this is great, I've been using OpenDNS for a while but I've been disappointed that occasionally I will type an invalid domain name and get redirected to their search engine... before that, it was my ISP.

Why did Google not join forces with Open DNS and other similar efforts?
ReplyDeleteHaha, I would love some Google mocha, but back on the matter at hand, I think that a nice fast DNS resolver is great, but the only concern I have is with how the dns query data is handled. Is it logged? Is it disposed of immediately (as should be to avoid any privacy concerns)?

ReplyDeleteGreat news...just started using the DNS...have to see if its really faster...
ReplyDeletePiratebay.org is banned in Denmark.
ReplyDeleteIs it legal for me to use Google DNS to go to piratebay.org?
What about other banned sites in other countries?
What do Google do in those situations?
Privacy and logging is detailed here: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/privacy.html
ReplyDeletewonderful to follow users requests... I'll never use it.
ReplyDeletePrivacy is a main issue here, I mean, if your browsing history is logged then this looks like 1984 to me...
ReplyDeleteI'll check it out... yay! for upgrades.
ReplyDeleteUsing it now, I seriously see no difference in speed.
ReplyDeleteIts always been fast anyway...
http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/faq.html
ReplyDeleteFor those people raising privacy questions, read the FAQ they do log, but IP address info for you computer is only kept for 48 hours then deleted...
Comodo secure dns > google dns
ReplyDeletehttp://www.comodo.com/secure-dns/
48 hours is acceptable, as long as that info is not aggregated with any other user data. Promise thats how it is?
ReplyDeleteNice

ReplyDeletePing times for google seem slower than open DNS for me. I'm in San Francisco, getting 64ms from google, 13ms from openDNS.
ReplyDeleteIs there a better way to measure DNS speed?
isto e otimo com costantes falhas da speedy da telefonica uma outra opicão e muito bom
ReplyDeleteThe few tests I tried, OpenDNS was faster.
ReplyDeleteI think the real point of this is to add yet another stream of information about you that Google can use to target ads.
ReplyDeletehow a bout new website ? how long it takes that a new website add to the google DNS ?
ReplyDeleteThis rocks! Thank you so much:)!
ReplyDeleteThanks to Google, Better and Better surfing speed each time....well...download i think its not effected.

ReplyDeleteI've been using Open Dns because its fast and I can block categories of servers (adult, pornography, parked domains) and 8.8.8.8 will be easy to remember, but it appears to be a bit slower than Open DNS. Since I'm about all things Google I'm glad to help test.
ReplyDeleteThis is very nice, i have tested some domains and seeming very fast resolver as compared to others like openDNS and my own ISP.... :). Keep it up nice work. Now need some security implementations...

google are the king of search. Any DNS request relies on search technology. This is why Google is faster than your local ISP. Did you read the article? They can provide DNS lookup in the time it takes a packet to do a round trip.
ReplyDeletePrivacy concerns will be exactly the same as with any other google services (gmail, blogger, youtube, even search). If you dont like it, dont use it. easy.
Also,
* they only know your ip address, not you.
* your ip address identifies your computer, not you.
* your data on your computer is just as accessible to anyone else as it is to google.
* anything you send to google will be accessible by google.
* If you dont want google to see what sites you visit, dont use google dns. (your ISP probably logs it anyway)
This has been around so long, and many of us actually saw this coming, this is part of the Open Roots, and is not new at all. Actually in retrospec, they are do nothing more then what is already in place on a global scale. The only question I have for Google, is are you going to handle the other TLD's and HOW? Are you conforming to the ICANN way of life, or are you actually going to use the inclusive name spacing? Hope you guys did your homework.

ReplyDeleteI'd been using Google Public DNS since Dec 24th 2009, and I'm not at all impressed. The biggest issues I had with it is that it made google websites and services mostly fail. google.com, gmail, googleanalytics which a lot of sites have used now, would all not work most of the time. I switched back to my own in-house DNS after getting them back up after some major overhaul work to my servers and I was back in business no problem.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why specifically Google's Public DNS would not work for their own sites, but wow, that was not very fun at all once I realized the cause was the DNS. I'd have never suspected it.
ya it is good work to speed the web also catch the data what people searching and which are new website user using.... A NEW APPROCH TO FIND NEW TRENDS...
