On the choice of DNS forwarder: Unbound is very configurable and reliable, however, I went down this rabbit hole recently and decided I wanted a DNS "shotgunner" as latency to a single upstream source had a wide distribution.
Simply, you issue multiple DNS requests and take the fastest one. I use 9 different DNS servers over TLS. This is a bit excessive, two is enough most of the time.
I'm tempted to write my own DNS forwarder but this project is working well for me: https://github.com/mikispag/dns-over-tls-forwarder https://github.com/mikispag/dns-over-tls-forwarder

- errantmind 5y agoCalling it 'abuse' seems like a leap. It is redundant, sure, but the results get cached, usually for extended periods of time if the TTL isn't set to too short of a duration.
