    OpenINTEL passes 5 trillion results milestone
    OpenINTEL has just passed the major milestone of 5 trillion results. We reached this milestone in December 2020, at the end of our fifth full year of operation. Over 2020, we have added ccTLDs and realised a major additional data source with the daily measurement of the full IPv4 reverse DNS namespace. As our sixth year of operation starts, we remain dedicated to our mission of being the long-term memory of the DNS.
