What, if any, Public DNS is preferred? (lemmy.world)

My ISP is AT&T (located in the U.S.) and I have issues loading random websites. Currently have Google DNS set in my router, which works great. But I'm guessing there's a better, more private, option?

What ISP do you use that makes you trust Cloudflare more than your ISP? You must really be between a rock and a hard place.

I'm not all that concerned about either tbh; I was just already capturing DNS traffic and funneling it through pihole for the customizable blocking, and figured I may as well add DOH while I'm at it.

Just sharing the knowledge for those that are interested. You can use any DOH provider you like.

You can run Unbound with PiHole, that way its upstream is root servers instead of a single site.

But at that point pihole is just a fancy web interface with some nice looking but for most purposes useless graphs. I just let Unbound filter stuff with the same filter lists pihole would use.
