Advice for an EU (and in any case non-spying) Dynamic DNS provider? (diggita.com)

I'm starting to play with an old laptop that I have installed Ubuntu Server on, with Nextcloud and Docker.

Using Docker Compose I installed Nginx and now I would like to try to do the DDNS thing on a domain that I registered with an Italian provider.

I looked at a few DynDns providers and they seem to me to be all American or in any case on American infrastructure (DuckDNS on AWS, etc)

Is there anything you can recommend that is EU-based and who has a good reputation in general?

Free is preferred.

I have looked at it already and I didn't find anything that wasn't a resolver.

I'm sorry, its been a long day.

DNS4EU doesn't provide DDNS service, you are correct. Checkout deSEC, they partner with DNS4EU and the EU as part of the initiative to limit dependency on US based infrastructure.

This one has been suggested also in other threads, seems like the best option.

One thing I noticed is that virtually all the EU DDNS providers are German. Is there a reason for it?

[–] Mordikan@kbin.earth 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Germany's legislation is largely spearheading the effort. They aren't trying to build the infrastructure to support it, they already have the infrastructure. They are one of if not the biggest GDPR actors and have a large datacenter presence through companies like Hetzner and DE-CIX.

I know Hetzner but never heard of DE-CIX. I know they have spearheading companies in many respects, but cannot reconcile those efforts and sensibility with ChatControl.

[–] Mordikan@kbin.earth 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Germany hasn't officially endorsed ChatControl, and groups like Hetzner outright oppose it. In the US, ChatControl takes the form of the LAED Act and the EARN IT Act. All three focus on this appeal to emotion that to protect kids we need to get rid of end-to-end encryption. Legislators are pretty fucking dumb when it comes to this stuff, though. They don't understand that if they have a backdoor to encryption, everyone has a backdoor to encryption.

As the country that gave birth to the CCC and that (lived and) produced "The Lives of Others" I am surprised they are even contemplating it.

Much more expected by the country where I am in and the one where I am from.
