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’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.

    The one from your ISP. Your ISP can see your traffic anyway, so you gain nothing by using a third-party DNS server.

      As far as I read (I’m no expert!) they could check the SNI of the TLS handshake if they want. But using the DNS of the ISP is handing them the data right in a way they can analyze/use them very easily afaik?

      Still learning about this topic!

        They route your traffic, hence they can see all IP addresses you communicate with. With a reverse lookup you can then usually find out the address too.
