Anyone use alternative DNS resolvers? (Apart from the usual suspects of):
1.1.1.1
8.8.8.8
9.9.9.9
- mobilio 4y agoYup. I've used them as backup DNS resolvers on all machines.
- treesknees 4y agoBeyond running Adguard, I use OpenDNS (208.67.220.220/208.67.222.222) as I can setup some block categories like phishing/malware as a layer of last resort. I could probably switch, but I've been using them since ~2010 (back before these other ones were available) with no issues.
- mdasen 4y agoI used to use AdGuard's DNS (https://adguard-dns.io/ https://adguard-dns.io/). It looks like they're going to be launching an upgraded version that you can customize in the future. Right now, I'm using NextDNS (https://nextdns.io https://nextdns.io). It lets me add ad/tracking block lists, block specific domains (especially ones that serve annoying embeds in many sites), and setup rewrites so that I can have my-fake-domain.com resolve to localhost. I can use their DNS-over-HTTPS with Chrome/Edge/Firefox and I can setup my router to to use their DNS. It's basically my own little PiHole without needing the RaspberryPi (which are very hard to come by these days). (Anxiously awaits someone on HN telling me that I shouldn't be using NextDNS)
- Handytinge 4y agoI just responded to another comment, I don't see the purpose of it. However (like many here I assume), I have home servers I can trivially run pi-hole or similar software on, so many it's for people who don't want to run/manage it?
- Grimburger 4y agoStill one of the usual suspects but I prefer to use 1.1.1.2 for peace of mind.
