Another example is OVH with its owo option which obfuscate Whois datas for years.


OVH is weird, they quite often don't obfuscate all contact data. I switched to namecheap for some and they don't leave any of your original data in there.


OWO is sadly not available for some domains I use (notable .de and .eu don't seem to allow OWO).

WHOIS blackout and redesign under GDPR should address the problem of some registries requiring non-obfuscated WHOIS (some even requiring me to put in the ID number of my ID card)
