I am looking to setup a public DNS server and I found this DNS server
Does anyone know what the risks are of exposing the DNS port to the internet? How likely am I to get compromised? Is this a really bad idea?

I use technitium but it’s like pihole, designed for a few concurrent users in a local network? Instead you want that anyone in the world can use your DNS?
But you would only attract bad actors, normal users won’t use a random DNS server as it could redirect specific sites to phishing pages
I’m going to use it to resolve my domain.
Ah you want to host a name server
That’s the hardest thing ever to self host, can’t just use the free name server service from the registrar or cloudflare?
IMHO even the most dedicated sysadmin wouldn’t even think to self host that
I’m starting to realize it would be a massive headache.
