Well I just rebooted my modem, but modem + router checked out (I know the IPs). Rebooted the Pi-Hole, seems to be back up now. Cloudflare is the only DNS my Pi-Hole forwards to. I think I will add another, now..

Which ones are you going to add? Just curious. :)

I've used 4.2.2.1 extensively in the past, and never had any issues. 4.2.2.1 through 4.2.2.6 are run by Level 3

Oh, I've heard about it, but I don't like to use it because it returns a search page filled with ads for nonexistent domains.

I'm realizing how bad the experience is when my computer starts falling back to the "secondary" DNS. It adds a little over 1s latency to resolutions (very noticable).

I wish my computer was smart enough to "healthcheck" the primary and secondary, and fallback to using the secondary as the primary until it becomes healthy again.

Both the primary and the secondary going down is a killer. It's enough to make me switch out the secondary to a non-cloudflare DNS.

Even when the secondary works the performance is pretty miserable. Adds about a 1s latency to each DNS resolution while it wait's for the primary to fail.
