What this changes

Updates two references to public-dns.info in the README to point to publicdns.info instead.

Why

public-dns.info has become stale. The resolver dataset is no longer actively maintained and many of the listed servers are dead or unreliable.

publicdns.info is a direct drop-in replacement:

  • 8,500+ servers — significantly larger dataset
  • Continuously validated — re-verified every 72 hours with real DNS queries
  • NXDOMAIN integrity checks — hijacking resolvers are flagged and excluded
  • Same formatnameservers.txt is the standard endpoint, line-by-line IPv4 addresses

Using a stale resolver source means users spend more time validating dead servers with dnsvalidator. Pointing to publicdns.info gives users a higher-quality starting point.

Changes

  • README.md line 183: resolver source link updated (FAQ: "How do I get resolvers?")
  • README.md line 231: Resources section link updated

No functional changes to puredns itself. This is a documentation-only update.

public-dns.info has become stale; publicdns.info provides 8,500+
servers re-validated every 72 hours and is a direct drop-in replacement.
