I used to run a Tier 2 server YEARS ago, and I have recently been thinking about doing that again, as I’ve recently been focused on setting up privacy respecting federated instances and other technologies. This lemmy post along with your comment convinced me that it was in fact a good privacy related endeavor, so last night I acquired a server in Atlanta and put up an OpenNIC Tier 2 Recursive DNS Server, Zero Logging, and supports DNSSEC, DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS, DNSCrypt, and Anonymized DNSCrypt.
