My ISP is Comcast, a company I can trust about as much as I can throw it, so I use DNSCrypt when I'm not otherwise on a VPN, and have a number of fallback DNS providers for when DNSCrypt doesn't work.

Reasonably speaking I don't need very much from a DNS provider: <15ms latency, basic DNS security features and the ability to display an error rather than redirect me to a sponsored results page. I can do without the extra filters, but as long as I can get those three things, then I would rather use a different service than my ISP.

Do you use Netflix? If so, how do you get access if you use a third party DNS service?

Netflix doesn't care who your DNS resolver is. They might care if you access it through a VPN, which I don't.

It does. It’s how most Aussies were bypassing their geoblock about a year ago.
