  Have you tried Mullvad? https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls TL;DR dns.mullvad.net - 194.242.2.2 (no blocking) adblock.dns.mullvad.net - 194.242.2.3 (ad and tracker blocking) base.dns.mullvad.net - 194.242.2.4 (ad, tracker, malware blocking) And others but I primarily use the last two. They offer it as a public service, similar to quad9.

    Thanks to multiple mentions of Mullvad in this overall post comments, I decided to replace dnsmasq with unbound and convert the laptop to DoT. Here's the specific Mullvad snippet if anyone needs: # Mullvad Unfiltered forward-addr: 2a07:e340::2@853#dns.mullvad.net forward-addr: 194.242.2.2@853#dns.mullvad.net # Mullvad Adblock # forward-addr: 2a07:e340::3@853#adblock.dns.mullvad.net # forward-addr: 194.242.2.3@853#adblock.dns.mullvad.net As mentioned in the default unbound config, the "#" is not a comment when used in the value, it's used for TLS checks. I followed this simple blog post from years ago: https://www.jwillikers.com/dns-over-tls-with-unbound https://www.jwillikers.com/dns-over-tls-with-unbound
