redpill me on quad9, and ways to make my internet browsing more private and safe. i have no idea how dns work. ideally, i'd also love if it could be set up to block ads and porn too.

mullvad is only partially open source while quad9 is completely open source.
one is based in sweden the other in switzerland.
mullvad is a private company while quad9 is a non-profit.

mullvad certainly has more features, but i dont know which of the two is better.

>"threat" blocking
big nope, they use it to block sites they don't agree with politically and call them "threats"
you should be using no log, no filter DNS servers with good response time.

nevermind, I have to specify an actual server like https://us-nyc-dns-601.mullvad.net/dns-query instead of just using what's in my pic because otherwise it defaults to a server in singapore
meanwhile quad9 it doesn't do that

that says nothing. private from whom? safe how?
>block ads and porn
it can do that, but not all ads can be blocked at the DNS level, you'll most likely need an application level blocker anyway, like a browser addon

like, my isp not being able to spy and collect data on every single website i use.
>>105768459
>a browser addon
i already use ublock origin, but it would be nice to have some level of ad blocking at the wifi level so that it works for my boomer relatives too and whatnot.

most of your data is already encrypted with HTTPS. DNS can also be encrypted (over HTTPS or over TLS). Encrypted Client Hello is something that can help obfuscate initial DNS queries. Most websites don't have a fixed IP address nowadays, so the ISP seeing what IPs you connect to won't do much, but you can use a VPN or Tor to obfuscate where you're connecting to. You can even use Tor bridges to obfuscate the fact you're connecting to Tor, if you're that paranoid or if Tor is illegal in your cunt.

Anything other than pure Unbound with DNSSEC and a couple of blocklists is 100% placebo which won't really do what you think it will, and will never ever change the end result except adding a third party to the chain.

surely your ISP/country doesn't suck so bad that every big DNS provider is blocked? just use any of them with encryption and DNSSEC.

i used it for a bit because I like chara and freedom but they are still censoring a ton of DNS locations for things like shared resources like libgen. I hard dropped them for uncensored dns

it turns internet addresses into IP numbers.

i've been using it for years, and i'd say its the best option bar hosting your own dns. they dont store logs (allegedly, but as with all dns providers you just have to take their word for it) and support DoH.
