I read a bit about using a different DNS for Privacy and I think the best one should be quad9? Or is there anything better except self hosting a DNS?

    Quad9 is decent, but there’s some weird legislative issues (they can be court ordered to not resolve certain sites) BC weird reasons.

    If you have a raspberry pi or similar sitting somewhere, you can set up a pihole DNS with unbound as upstream. Then you’ve got a DNS that’s as private as you want, locally cached and with additional ad/malware/… blocking capabilities.

    The one from your ISP. Your ISP can see your traffic anyway, so you gain nothing by using a third-party DNS server.

    I’m not an expert on what makes a “good DNS”, but I have been using a pi-hole for about 5 years and it has been super stable the whole time, despite my best efforts.
