EDNS Client Subnet (RFC 7871) forwarded to authoritative servers. off sends none (an explicit /0 opt-out). anonymised sends the client’s network truncated to /24 (IPv4) or /56 (IPv6). full sends the client’s address itself (/32 and /128 by default; the operator may cap it lower, commonly /64 for IPv6), so the client’s IP address reaches every authoritative server queried on its behalf: better CDN steering, less privacy. A client’s own ECS option is forwarded no wider than the mode allows, and its /0 opt-out is always honoured.
How long opdns holds this profile’s logs for its self-hosted node while the node is offline (log destination self-hosted or both), in hours; 24 at most. 0 holds nothing: records made while the node is offline are dropped (with both the cloud copy is still kept). Records older than the window are never delivered. retention_days is the cloud log retention, a different setting. Profiles saved before 0.9.0 read as 24.
Where opdns stores this profile’s query logs in the cloud (log destination cloud or both). ca: Canada (the control plane at OVH Beauharnois, Québec), the only region available today and the default. eu is announced but not yet accepted: the API refuses it with a 422 problem (settings.log_region) until the region exists. A self-hosted node’s own logs stay on the node. Profiles saved before 0.10.0 read as ca.
How to reach the profile’s resolver, computed from the deployment’s configuration.
object
DoT host name; <device>-<id>.<domain> also identifies a device.
IPv6 resolver addresses encoding the profile id, one per anycast /48.
Anycast IPv4 resolvers; they identify the profile only through a linked IP.
The operator suspended the profile. It still answers, but resolves without
filtering (no rules, lists, rewrites, security or parental controls) and
without logging until it is reinstated; writes to it fail with 409
profile_suspended. The operator’s reason is never exposed here.
