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?
I recently switched to NextDNS. I used to run my own AdGuard Home with multiple DNS provider as upstream.
A simple solution is Quad9 aka 9.9.9.9. NextDNS is fairly simple but allows customization.
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.
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.
