Authoritative name servers.
Good enough write-up about it here: https://docs.pi-hole.net/guides/dns/unbound/
The only problem there is that if you are going for privacy all of the traffic between your unbound and the authoritative servers is unencrypted. It us certainly a trade-off involving trusting a 3rd party, but with a busier public DNS server there can be a level of plausible deniability due to the aggregation and shared caching involved.
Kinda. You can always route your traffic over a VPN. Further, from the unbound page:
Edit: to be clear, I run unbound but I don't recall how much I hardened it. The config file is fairly large and I was mostly focusing on speed and efficiency since it's running on an already busy raspberry pi.
