Technology is increasingly phoning home and passing up data. An AI robot collects our data and stores it in China on servers that are not secure. We also struggle with televisions collecting information for advertising.

Quad9 quitte la France plutôt que de bloquer des sites sur ordre de justice

À partir du 24 novembre 2026, le résolveur DNS gratuit et sans tracking Quad9 ne sera plus disponible pour les utilisateurs situés en France.

La décision fait suite à un jugement français qui oblige Quad9 à bloquer la résolution de certains noms de domaine liés à la diffusion non autorisée de compétitions sportives, à la demande de beIN. L’astreinte a été ramenée à 1 000 € par jour, mais Quad9 refuse de se conformer durablement.

La fondation suisse explique qu’elle ne peut pas identifier de façon fiable les utilisateurs français (elle ne collecte pas de données), et qu’elle refuse d’appliquer une décision française à l’ensemble de ses utilisateurs dans le monde. Elle rappelle aussi que bloquer au niveau DNS ne supprime pas le contenu et est facilement contournable.

Pour Quad9, c’est une question de principe : rester un résolveur neutre, privé et intègre.

Qu’allez-vous utiliser à la place de Quad9 (9.9.9.9) ?
