+1 for nextdns definitely, that would be also my preferred choice.

Alternative and free for private usage is to set DNS to:

    dns.adguard-dns.com

on your devices to block ads with DNS.

UPDATE: it seems the old one was dns.adguard.com (which was blocked in some countries)

For the home-gamers without a strong grip of DNS, note that you can't enter a domain name into your resolver fields, you have to use the IPs:

    94.140.14.14
    94.140.15.15
    2a10:50c0::ad1:ff
    2a10:50c0::ad2:ff

Also, it looks like https://dns.adguard-dns.com/ redirects to https://adguard-dns.io/ which is a paid service for more advanced DNS filtering, a la NextDNS.

9.9.9.9 from Quad9 is another great, free, pro-privacy alternative.

omg, thank youuuu
