whats the business model of operating this large expensive service for free? (if you read their website, you'll find the answer is that they do it for the data. shocking, right?)
They detail their business model in this blog post: https://quad9.net/news/blog/quad9-and-your-data
It seemed honnest to me. Furthermore, it is non-profit organisation. Am I wrong to trust them ?
Best thing about Quad9 is that they are based outside of the US in Switzerland. Swiss privacy laws are much better than US ones.
