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/
See the link by Innerworld below.
A highlight:
It felt very much like a witch hunt every time Proton was criticised. Almost like other VPNs wanted to tarnish them. But that would be a conspiracy to think I guess.
Now, I don't know any more, but that one tweet seems to be the only bad thing Proton has done as an organisation, which is a non bad track record IMO.
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.
