    Ah well, unbound prepared for the toggle. # Mullvad No-Filter DoT forward-addr: 194.242.2.3@853#dns.mullvad.net # AdGuard Default Ad-Blocking DoT forward-addr: 94.140.14.14@853#dns.adguard-dns.com #Quad9 DoT #forward-addr: 9.9.9.9@853#dns9.quad9.net #Quad9 no threatblocker DoT #forward-addr: 9.9.9.10@853#dns10.quad9.net

    I’ve been recommending Mullvad DNS for its adblock functionality. Quad9 does not provide this. I am now seeking recommendations for an equivalent I can recommend to friends and family for use on devices that do not easily support system-wide adblocking.

    Any alternatives that have ad/malware/tracker blocking features for mobile? I switched back to ControlD after hearing this, but they do not have mobile profiles for their DNS.

    The amount of hate on mullvad for what they openly acknowledged was a personal donation from someone who was a founder sure does seem like it’s astroturfing against an otherwise solid vpn provider with a better trackrecord and more transparency then most. Seems like the Same sort of ppl who would pay for services with a bank card and then be shocked when that links them to an account. What do these people want? Should Mullvad fire this person? On what grounds? Do people honestly think companies should have a say over what their employees or members spend their personal money on? That seems like a fascist attitude to me. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Can someone catch me up, I thought people liked Mullvad… but this thread seems to suggest otherwise. What did I miss?
