Which DNS would you recommend? (programming.dev)

ISPs are forced to block DNS request to certain hosts, they also monitor your DNS requests, and sometimes aren't updated that or are slow.

Which DNS servers do you use or would recommend to others?

I use ControlD, but have never heard of rethinkDNS or AhaDNS. Curious to hear from people who uses them.

I use RethinkDNS. I really like being able to pick and choose block lists. They have categories, Ads, Porn, Gambling, etc. And you can just use their presets, Ads is going to combine multiple lists for example. You can also add a 'No Meta/Facebook' list to that too.

If you are on Android they have an app that integrates the DNS with optional firewall with logging, and Wireguard or Orbot support. The app also gives you the option of having the block lists on device.

Everything is FOSS
