Im looking for a dns that doesnt spy on me as much as google’s dns server.
Mullvad recently announced a free encrypted DNS. It can block ads and malware too.
Honest question, what’s wrong with cloudflare?
Quad9 or mullvads dns
Mullvad is a better option
Why?
If you have the skill to implement Pi Hole is the best option. If not MullvadDNS is a solid option but if you want a granular control over your DNS queries no doubt NextDNS.
I’ve been using Quad9 and I’m happy with it. Here’s the site if you’re interested in looking into it further.
Mullvad is another great option that’s already been mentioned.
Here are two resources for privacy-oriented DNS:
- The provider list for the https-dns-proxy module of OpenWRT: https://github.com/stangri/source.openwrt.melmac.net/tree/master/luci-app-https-dns-proxy/root/usr/share/https-dns-proxy/providers
- Privacy-oriented European public DNS services: https://european-alternatives.eu/category/public-dns
In case you are unaware, make sure to override DNS on any web browsers or other programs that might be skipping OS configured DNS servers to use hard-coded DNS over HTTPS servers.
If you’re running your own DNS resolver you can hint this to some applications in your network via a canary domain
If you are in Europe, try dns0: https://www.dns0.eu/
I’m shilling for controld.com and I will die on this hill.
Adguard has a quite comprehensive list of known DNS providers in their documentation. It’s very useful because my ISP transparently redirect all dns queries on port 53, so I’ll have to find DNS providers that listen on alternate ports for my upstream DNS in my Adguard instance.
