What non-evil DNS server do you recommend? (sopuli.xyz)

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?

OpenNIC is my favourite, community run, lots of servers have no logs

OpenNIC is quite a hit or miss for me. How does it work for you?

What do you mean?

Uptime? DNS resolution speed?

I've been using them for a good 10 years, occasionally a server goes down but then you just swap them in your config.

I set them on my router which acts as the cache server as well. So after a client resolves it, no other clients have issues.

It's just that some servers I've chosen in the past had either gone down in speed or vanished completely.

Fwiw the AU ones are working like a treat
