Seems a little odd that the fediverse uses Cloudfare.

IPv4:

9.9.9.9
149.112.112.112

IPv6:

2620:fe::fe
2620:fe::9

All from memory lol. I set it up a lot for people at home and businesses. That's for DNSSEC, filtered, non ECS.

Edit: you can also use https://dns.quad9.net/dns-query for mobile iirc.

it's 1 more after 8! Is there no mercy?

r/unexpectedfactorial and before you tell me: I know that this is not reddit. But 8! is a very large number and you probably didn't mean it like that.

same. but i also use mullvad because it adds to encrypted dns (doh or dot only), several levels of filtering to choose from. this allows you to have some basic (can't edit filter lists yourself) 'pi-hole' functionality without having to have a pi-hole available.
