As a Swede - fuck that guy and the fucking Neo Nazis coming out of the goddamn woodwork everywhere. I was all-in on Mullvad, but that's changing today. Anyone got a good recommendation for a DNS over HTTPS alternative that's not owned by a racist/Nazi/Fascist asshole?
Quad9 is great imo
Proton VPN?
Or maybe you can configure your OS to use a DNS over https provider in the settings. I use Quad9
Proton's owner also gives me the ick with his Trump and the Republican Party praising. I'll look into it further and see if there are any other good options.
[Edit] I learned that CIRA (Canadian domain name registrar) has DNS over HTTPS support so I'll be reverting to them. Canadian shield does sound pretty good for a non-profit service without tracking: https://www.cira.ca/en/canadian-shield/
Proton has similar issues with leadership, unfortunately, just not as bad. For DNS, I use locally hosted unbound which retrieves records directly from the root servers. It's not the same as DoH, though, so if that's a hard requirement then you'd want something like Quad9.
