@portaloffreedom@social.linux.pizza It starts at the root servers, and follows up where they point. Ultimately, each domain owner is responsible for serving answers from their authoritative DNS servers to systems that ask. A recursive nameserver follows the chain. Sure, you can use 8.8.8.8 as your recursive server if you want. But you can also just run your own.
