Useful Public DNS Providers

Just want to list a few public DNS providers I tend to use for my setups.

For unfiltered DNS service, I tend to use Google (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4), Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), NextDNS (45.90.28.155, 45.90.30.155), dns.sb (185.222.222.222, 185.184.222.222) for DNS over TLS.  I was using DNS.WATCH (84.200.69.80, 84.200.70.40) before moved to DoT. DNS.WATCH is a nice alternative if you are looking for an option that is not from usual big providers.

Lastly, I uses  DNSForge.de,  a small DNS provider, if I need DNS with AdBlocking service.  DNSForge uses PiHole to do AdBlocking.  I use them over the others because they publish their blocklist on their site so I can determine what are blocked.
