DNS

Depends on who is going to be using it.
1.1.1.1 & 1.0.0.1 but almost always cached by the firewall.
1.1.1.3 & 1.0.0.3 as upstream for PiHole with a load of Hagezei adlists if the network had a chance of anyone I don't trust or know.
 
Just to check, when you say you're changing it on the router, do you mean you're changing your DHCP settings or are you altering the router's own DNS?

Depends.
If you change the router DNS, you can point all clients at your router for their DNS as the router will upstream to whatever you've set. If you set DHCP settings then you can point differing networks at different servers but increase your WAN traffic by a negligible amount.
 
The numbers don't lie, Quad9 DoH is fastest for me, and my router is faster than a pi-hole with the same settings, however, Mikrotik don't support http/2 or later as yet so I'm stuck with Cloudflare DoH.

How about DNS over tor ? Granted latency will be compromised but if it's privacy you want ....


Also can someone explain the overwhelming support for quad9 ?
Never heard of them until this thread and at face value looks just as shady as Google, Cloud flare etc

At some point. Someone, somewhere is going to have to resolve your requests. Do I implicitly trust a company with my data? No. Do I need to care though that someone can see me resolving icanhas.cheezburger.com? Equally no.
