Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how important is using one of the encrypted DNS services from the megathread? I've just been using Google's DNS servers directly on my router, and have yet to have any issues. Have I just been lucky?

Also, 🫡 to dbzer0 for migrating the community to Lemmy!

Maybe try dnscrypt. If a graphical frontend is available for your OS of choice it is very simple to setup.

It was super easy on Windows, but even easier on NixOS where I just set it up without any GUI, just enabled it and that's it
