Re: [tor-relays] Reminder: exit nodes probably shouldn't be using Google's DNS servers

The OpenNIC servers may not be appropriate for use by a high-speed Tor exit relay.

I run an OpenNIC DNS server, and my VPS vendor insisted that I rate-limit the server to avoid it being used as a DDOS vector. I'm guessing that this is not an uncommon position to take for public DNS servers.

The OpenNIC servers you select for use may be perfectly fine for your level of use but don't assume it is automatically true.

Anyway, thanks elrippo for that link to the Open NIC Project! I've added their DNS servers to my exit relay, and I no longer see any log errors about failing nameservers!
