Two weeks ago i searched for a couple of domains i had in mind at namecheap.com for a project i wanted to work on.
One domain that i liked was areact.com but i was not sure if i had the right name for my project so i did not bought it.
I searched today for that same domain out of curiosity and i discovered it is owned by godaddy and registered from 15 november of 2019.
I only saved this domain name in my icloud notes along with a collection list of potential domains and it is impossible to claim that my history was recorded anywhere since i am a cyber security researcher and i take measures for my privacy and personal data online.This story proves that our data is not safe, even from namecheap, godaddy, DNS spoof or Internet Service Providors!
So what i have in mind is that always when searching for a free domain i must look with a "dig" command to a encrypted dns server that claims that it has no LOGS like using dnscrypt client from dnscrypt.org or using a unix system to redirect all 53 udp port connectons to a local server with dnscrypt, or finally using also a vpn to avoid spoof on public networks and ISPs. And of course avoiding programs unreliable for privacy protection on our computers.
I would like to know what you think of this?
