RT-AX82U DNS OVER TLS

[OzarkEdge]

I find that Cloudflare Security is more reliable than Quad9 in my area when using DoT.

I've been using AdGuard Public DNS (DoT) (94.140.14.14, 94.140.15.15, dns.adguard-dns.com) for the ad blocking and I'm wondering how it compares to Cloudflare (1.1.1.2, 1.0.0.2, security.cloudflare-dns.com) and Quad9 (9.9.9.9, 149.112.112.112, dns.quad9.net) for malicious domain blocking.

There have been comparisons on the web for the sites that block malware and etc. If i remember they were almost comparable with Quad9 performing better than Cloudflare in the blocking area. I used Quad9 for several years before DoT. In recent years I have had Quad9 hang at times when using DoT even though their revolvers are in the same data center as Cloudflare. About 90 miles from me.
I have also tested Cleanbrowsing and ControlD which both work well on DoT. For now I am using a RPI 3b+ with Unbound and Pi-Hole and five block lists. It works very well!

Yes, I read that article... I should email them to consider including AdGuard Public DNS in their next test.
