Apparently, the European Union is thinking about developing, and implementing, its own “DNS Resolver”. A project that already has the name of “DNS4EU”, and apparently, is a response to very similar systems, already existing in North America.
Having said all that, in addition to an improvement in the privacy of users, this DNS can also be used to block various types of websites, namely those focused on piracy. Which may be interesting for some users, but it can also be considered an act against freedom for others.
European Union wants its own DNS servers. Isn’t this dangerous!?
So if you don’t know what it is a “DNS Resolver”, we are talking about a system that transforms the IP address into a written ‘domain’. That is, if you want to access google.com , this is exactly what you will put in the address bar, but your browser will in turn access the IP 216.58.215.174.
Taking the explanation out of the way, there is no shortage of DNS servers in the Internet world. By the way, your ISP has its own servers, but if you want to change it, you can do it for Google, CloudFlare, OpenDNS servers, etc… In order to have a faster, more private connection, and above all, less limited.
Having said all that, DNS4EU is an attempt to try to create an alternative to the many DNS servers in North American territory. By complying with all European standards and regulations. With the data to be obviously processed and processed on European soil.
Block illegal websites? Or even all illegal traffic?
If the The idea was to guarantee privacy, ok fine… But EU wants to go a little further. What has been said suggests that DNS4EU will also have the ability to block some kind of ‘grey’ traffic.
In other words, it is very likely that this DNS service will be able to block a large number of websites. In particular those focused on piracy of multimedia content. We are talking about torrent sites, and of course, streaming sports content.
In addition to blocking this type of site, we can also risk some kind of ‘censorship’ on European soil. With prohibited, or seriously limited, access to various types of websites that are not of EU Interest. Isn’t this dangerous?
Also, what do you think about all this? Do you agree with a European DNS Resolver? Share your opinion with us in the comments below.

I was interested in computers from a very young age and technology in general, I had my first PC when I was 10 years old and at 15 I built my first tower, since then I never stopped. Whatever technology, I’m in the front row to find out more.
