What fraction of Tor’s DNS traffic goes to Google and Cloudflare?
https://medium.com/@nusenu/what-fraction-of-tors-dns-traffic-goes-to-google-...
60.05% of the tor network’s exit capacity uses a resolver which is located in the same autonomous system as the exit relay itself (that includes localhost) which is recommended to minimize the path between exit relay and its resolver. Lets aim to increase this fraction to above 80%.
If you are an exit operator and want to help reach this goal you can use this list to verify you are not using Google or Cloudflare resolvers.

The Tor Relay Guide has instructions for setting up a local DNS resolver.

I find it more alarming that a single exit operator handles 13% of exit traffic than that the DNS resolution is dominated by 2 big players. Although the DNS dependencies are bad too. On 7/11/19 6:31 PM, nusenu wrote:

a) Others build up more exit capacity b) The one reduces it's capacity I, personally, prefer a).. I don't think b) is the way to go because the capacity is needed. Tim
