> how to set up 1.1.1.1

I just want to mention a few things: Fallback, other DNSs like 1.* and Mullvad's free DNS with more options

    # Standard
    1.1.1.1
    1.0.0.1
    2606:4700:4700::1111
    2606:4700:4700::1001

    # Block Malware 
    1.1.1.2
    1.0.0.2
    2606:4700:4700::1112
    2606:4700:4700::1002
    
    # Block Malware & Adult Content (not useful for this case)
    1.1.1.3
    1.0.0.3
    2606:4700:4700::1113
    2606:4700:4700::1003

You can find cloudflare information here[0], and remember to make sure you setup DNS over DoT (TLS) or DoH (HTTPS). Especially for them they will want to have encrypted DNS.

Mullvad also offers *free* DNS[1], which also supports encrypted DNS

    # DoH is port 443 and DoT is port 853
    # Standard
    dns.mullvad.net
    194.242.2.2
    2a07:e340::2

    # Block Trackers
    adblock.dns.mullvad.net
    194.242.2.3
    2a07:e340::3

    # Block Trackers + Malware
    base.dns.mullvad.net
    194.242.2.4
    2a07:e340::4

Mullvad also has block for Adult + gambling and social media (so there are 6 total configurations). You don't need the Mullvad VPN to use these.

I should also mention, as this frustrated me a bit, that your browser may implement its own DNS and so just setting these in your router (or pihole) may not completely resolve the issue. In Firefox, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > (scroll all the way down) Enable DNS over HTTPS using > then under either "Increased Protection" or "Max Protection" you can set a DNS resolver (or turn it off). They have defaults for Cloudflare (default!) and NextDNS. While you're there, also check your settings at the top of that page about "Enhanced Tracking Protection"

I am *NOT* a network/security person and would greatly appreciate replies to this comment with additional information. Especially about setting up things like piholes, TVs, browsers, encrypted DNS (especially this!), host files, and so on. Technical forum, so let's get technical and learn ^__^
