I'm a Gandi user and but I hate that they insist on leaving my email address in the WHOIS data.

I think that's only certain domain suffixes?

.com domains seem to be obfuscated okay these days...

e.g. https://v4.gandi.net/whois/details?search=davewasthere.com&s...

Hmmm, was the service updated?

I couldn't get my emails obfuscated on .com and .io addresses about 2~3 years ago. Just managed to get it done.

It's probably due to the GDPR. My understanding is that a lot of registrars are removing all personal information from WHOIS due to GDPR concerns.
