Noticed this DNS based ad blocking service https://adguard.com/en/adguard-dns/overview.html

Use these servers to block ads, tracking and phishing
176.103.130.130
176.103.130.131

Looks like a good product. Their website and github page are very professional. My concern is where the DNS servers are hosted.

Code:

If its in Russia then you probably couldn't get any better than that, next to Iran, Syria. Depends more upon the intent of the individual running them.

I have a friend who has been using the service for two months and is happy with it.
