Theres also https://www.dns0.eu/
- https://www.privacyguides.org/en/advanced/dns-overview/#should-i-use-encrypted-dns
  Heres a bunch of info
One downside is that it supports locations in Europe only
😪
do they Support DoT or DoH?
Don't use this insecure bs DNS with censoring. Boycott Europe's spyware/malware
Edit: think about french or germany.. so porn is already blocked. + More blocked stuff
Edit2: When the EU funding expires at the end of 2025, DNS4EU is to be "commercialized", i.e. transferred to operation by a profit-oriented company. However, this commercialization has already begun: The spin-off "Whalebone" is intended to help companies and government institutions to detect threats and prevent attacks via DNS.
Ah well. :)
- I might be proven wrong, but I don't think the porn block is via DNS, much more likely that it's blocked from the porn providers side via IP-ranges.
  
  ISP DNS blocking In Germany, DNS blocks have been carried out by ISPs for some time now. At the same time, they want to push through data retention without cause, etc.
  Blocked domains
- You seem very confused. Do you think that using a different DNS prevents blocking like the recent France porn block? It doesn't.
  Do you know why people use different DNS servers to the ones from their ISP? In some EU countries, in particular Germany, this is actually quite private already because data protection laws prevent the ISP from recording and using/selling the info.
  You do understand that these servers aren't run by government (s), right?
  
  It's pretty clear that's why I mentioned Germany? Since in Germany blocking is used at DNS level... So in which country are the servers located and which laws do the operators have to comply with? Data retention, etc., is also something they really want to push through... then everything will be logged later... Server on EU soil = no data protection or anything else.
- Huh? Source on porn being blocked in all of France and Germany?

  At least in Germany, what happened is that several local courts upheld a decision to block Pornhub and Youporn. From personal experience, I can tell you there are no practical consequences so far, both sites are perfectly available.
