Is there a tutorial on setting up your own? I've got a huge hosts file and would like it to affect all the devices at my home but setting up a DNS server always seemed high-level black magic to me.
I think we'll start seeing the standard configuration of 1.1.1.1,8.8.8.8 everywhere. Google/Cloudflare tackled the UX of free DNS spectacularly with these gold IP addresses. It's the primary reason I use them instead of OpenDNS, which was an earlier player in this space.

9.9.9.9 does not pass along EDNS client subnet resulting in wrong geo-located responses. It is their "feature".
According to the FAQ[1], they also offer 9.9.9.10, which passes client subnet at the cost of other features. [1] https://www.quad9.net/faq

Which ISPs are so bad that you want to use external services, which are further in distance than your ISP, for speed? When I test with my ISP, they beat all of these services (both IPv4 and IPv6). They're simply closer to me in terms of hops. My router is another story though. The Fritzbox (>200eur router) adds 6ms of latency, and that's what is advertised over DHCP. (Might still be fine, since cached queries are fas…
My isp got the brilliant idea of rolling their own YouTube cache servers. It's great in theory but in or active they're under powered and so at peak hours I can't even stream 240p on my 500mbits connection. I've had to block their cache servers in my firewall for YouTube to be butter smooth at 1080p consistently. Another example is bell Canada who used to mine your DNS queries to profile you for ads, or ISPs that hig…
Are YouTube videos not served using https? Sounds like it's google/YouTube servers but they're underprovsioned
Quad9 has several IPs and different services, see ( https://www.heise.de/imgs/18/2/3/1/7/9/4/7/quad9-feature-mat... ). For some reason this is hidden on the quad9 website.
