Would one recommend the use of this DNS app?

If you have something against free speach, then this might not be a company to deal with.

Yup interesting read. Accountability in today's environment is worth paying attention too.

Thank you, bob3160,

Indeed a reason to treat such initiatives well-informed, and you take us to that right information through the link you provide for us all. Thanks for doing that. Let us stay at the right side of the stick then.
The cloud can also be a two-sided sword.

One would trust a feasable ad-story at first sight, but looking real hard, I'd say no thank you for that offer.

If memory serves me well, you only have to search the forums for that IP and Cloudflare private DNS (or wording like that), causing issues with avasts ability to scan web content when this is used.

So, if my memory is correct, then far from making it safer you would be less safe.

Now that you mention it, you may very well be correct.

In short, no.

If you run a paid version of Avast you're covered by RealSite.
For the free version I'd recommend OpenDNS (if really needed).
