Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how important is using one of the encrypted DNS services from the megathread? I've just been using Google's DNS servers directly on my router, and have yet to have any issues. Have I just been lucky?

Also, 🫡 to dbzer0 for migrating the community to Lemmy!

If you don't want to spend money, use 1.1.1.1 at least. It's important.

And please don't post the same for 3 times thanks.

I'd actually suggest using Quad9 DNS.

What advantage does Quad9 have over Cloudflares DoT?

Quad9 is based in Switzerland where privacy laws are stricter, most notably the one where they cannot cooperate with foreign intelligence agencies without approval from the Swiss government. Quad9 keeps no logs, while Cloudflare does for 25 hours.
