      HaGeZi compiles and maintains the biggest DNS blocklists around, it’s used by several DNS services, and most likely by all of them but they don’t credit him. On his page, he recommends some online services based on transparency and privacy. He used to recommend NextDNS as well, but he removed them because, for a long time, many people have complained about a lack of customer support - they don’t respond to any contact. It seems like the service is running but is somewhat abandoned. Its two creators started dns0.eu and are probably focused there.
      Technically, the only issue with NextDNS is that it’s unmanaged, and as for now there hasn’t been any changes in who are providing the lists, it just works.

        Thank you. I’ll check out the other service. I’ve had NextDNS for several years now, I’ve never needed to contact them and I have seen a couple of new options show up in the interface in the odd time a year I log in.

        I was tempted by ControlD a few times but NextDNS suits my needs fine.
