I feel kinda bad about feeding google with data. Is there some name server I can point my servers to that upholds my privacy and does not run analytics on the requests it gets?
Quad9, a Swiss public benefit, not-for-profit foundation. Main address is 9.9.9.9.
How about dnscrypt-proxy?
Randomized dns servers and you can use your own blocklists

My own.
OpenDNS, anyone?
Open DNS is run by Cisco now. And is directly used for their proprietary anti malware systems
Thanks for the info, I’ve started using Quad9 ever since I got fiber recently and tried a DNS benchmark tool and saw it’s even faster than Cloudflare at my network
I use the DNS resolver in pfSense which connects directly to the DNS root servers.
You can do that?
Yes, as long as you don’t have a crappy ISP that interferes with your DNS traffic.
My ISP is crappy in other ways
