I read a bit about using a different DNS for Privacy and I think the best one should be quad9? Or is there anything better except self hosting a DNS?
I use Quad9 for my upstream.
This!
Using NextDNS for quite long time
I use NextDNS, but also use Cloudflare sometimes.
Quad9 is decent, but there’s some weird legislative issues (they can be court ordered to not resolve certain sites) BC weird reasons.
If you have a raspberry pi or similar sitting somewhere, you can set up a pihole DNS with unbound as upstream. Then you’ve got a DNS that’s as private as you want, locally cached and with additional ad/malware/… blocking capabilities.
I use cloudflare dns
The one from your ISP. Your ISP can see your traffic anyway, so you gain nothing by using a third-party DNS server.

Okay, maybe I got the question wrong. If you care about content blocking, then you are right (though I’d prefer self-hosted resolvers like pi-hole or AdGuard Home over third party resolvers).

If you use the same or similar blocklist it does not provide additional protection though.

Mt ISP can’t see my traffic or my DNS lookups lol
Congrats but then you are using more than just another DNS resolver/different DNS technology.
Yes, if you want privacy then you need a good VPN provider
I’m not an expert on what makes a “good DNS”, but I have been using a pi-hole for about 5 years and it has been super stable the whole time, despite my best efforts.
