From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Never heard of it before, cheers.
While self-hosting reduces the number of requests to upstream, it does not completely solve the problem (since OP still needs to forward requests to an upstream DNS). Do you have any suggestions for that?
Unbound can be configured to make requests directly to the DNS "root server" . These should not be censored. The guide linked by surfbum explains this accordingly.
Free, uncensored, from northern europe (Denmark): https://blog.censurfridns.dk/
honorable mention: Digitale Gesellschaft (Switzerland): https://www.digitale-gesellschaft.ch/dns/
As for DNS Benchmarking: I used a Shell Script to check the performance of my pi hole. I got that from github, just look for "dns benchmark github" and you'll find tons of script in all languages people wrote.
Edit: got two more:
Dns.watch (Germany): https://dns.watch/
Digital Courage (Germany): https://digitalcourage.de/support/zensurfreier-dns-server
Great tips, thank you!
May want to take a look at quad nine dns server.
Wait what does dns have to do with censoring? I though censoring would come from your internet provider and changing dns provider would not actually circumvent anything because the connection is still going through them. Am I completely mistaken?
Probably bad terminology on my part, sorry. I believe that some DNS servers do block some sites, though, e.g. torrent sites or similar kinds.
Oh okay yeah that makes sense.
https://blahdns.com/, swiss based? It's also blocking ads.
You can set it on systemd I remember
