Be cautious with Quad9; their main address (9.9.9.9) has a "malware" blacklist that has misfired several times already: twice for a private torrent tracker, once for gist.github.com, issue was resolved within minutes to hours. They have a non-filtered address (9.9.9.10), but it doesn't do DNSSEC verification. IMO they're too unreliable to be worth the hassle.

Quad9 employs DNSSEC on all endpoints now. https://quad9.net/news/blog/quad9-enables-dnssec-on-all-serv...

Was about to comment this. I actually don't like advert or malware blocking on my public DNS resolvers. It sounds cool but annoying when it misfires.

Once Quad9 blocked Halo MCC XBOX Live -> Steam achievements, several fileshare services (probably used for malware somewhere but not my usage) etc...

1.1.1.1 blocked archive.is or got blocked by them or something...

Gone back to Google DNS (gasp) for now, yes as a European... no blocking, fast, never goes down.
