Quad9 (DNS Resolver) to Exit France
Summary
Quad9 announces it will withdraw its DNS services from France due to a French court ruling that would require blocking certain domain names. The organization argues that geo-blocking and court-ordered censorship undermine the integrity of the internet and that DNS is a neutral, global service. The departure is planned for November 24, 2026, highlighting broader concerns about legal pressure on DNS resolvers and internet openness.
