Re: [tor-relays] Should new exit relays be probed for public DNS resolvers

It’s not a threat model issue. It’s more of a let’s make Tor less dependent on a few public resolvers. Running our own resolvers just makes more sense at such a scale.

Cordially,

Hey Nathaniel,

What's your threat model here? What would you want to achieve?

There has been discussion over the past several years that the Tor network should not use public DNS resolver as it has security implications on the Tor network (https://medium.com/@nusenu/who-controls-tors-dns-traffic-a74a7632e8ca). Should new Tor Exit Relays be probed and not included in the consensus until they're running their own DNS resolver and not relying on a public one?
