ControlD, DNS.sb and LibreDNS for instance. The latter two are open source. I think non-disciminating DNS providers are rather the norm and not an exception though.

Really? Then your experience differs greatly from mine (EU based). My usual mix of 'fastest anycast' upstreams’ are reliably black-holing a lot of .ru domains right now (Rightly or wrongly is a ‘nother question for a ‘nother day). P.S, YMMV and obviously does :)

Are you sure it's not Runet dropping traffic incoming?

huh. Why aren't you simply querying the roots and from there the SOA for any domain?

https://www.opennic.org/ and downstream providers from there are quite good: https://servers.opennic.org/

I run and use https://resolv.us.to/ - you may do the latter, too.

Shameless self promotion: Try Control D - https://controld.com/free-dns

There are many different types of resolvers, blocking and unfiltered. We're adding global ECH support in the coming weeks. There is also a paid plan if you need more control.

If you already run your own DNS resolver, query the root servers directly. No need to trust DNS providers when you can do the same thing yourself.

Personally, I use nextdns on a paid plan (£17/year). Full control, can change to no logs, or logs stored in Switzerland. They have a free plan too

You might want to look up "geo-politically stable" web hosting. Aside from that, Epik.com has traditionally been quite supportive of free speech (even if it's Trump supporters).
