My ISP is AT&T (located in the U.S.) and I have issues loading random websites. Currently have Google DNS set in my router, which works great. But I’m guessing there’s a better, more private, option?
A simple solution is Quad9 aka 9.9.9.9. NextDNS is fairly simple but allows customization.
I recently switched to NextDNS. I used to run my own AdGuard Home with multiple DNS provider as upstream.
NextDNS is the move, the clients are open sourced and they encrypt everything. Plus their free option covers all my devices, no problem. Highly recommended!
I use 1.1.1.1 as my dns because I don’t forget it. Should I not be?
The question to ask yourself is why is cloudflare offering that service for free? Probably because they get something out of it, like analysing the data.
If you need a traditional, unencrypted DNS service, check out Quad9 and AdGuard’s Public DNS. If you can use DoT or DoH, use LibreDNS or Mullvad DNS. If you want more customization, check out NextDNS.
