Up until recently, I've used it with quad9 DNS, which is fine, but as people found out, we can make it work with dnscrypt-proxy, which allows us to use DNSCrypt, which basically is a protocol that encrypts, authenticates and optionally anonymizes communications between a DNS client and a DNS resolver. It prevents DNS spoofing. It uses cryptographic signatures to verify that responses originate from the chosen DNS... Source: about 1 year ago

DNSCrypt (open source) can use a blacklist https://dnscrypt.info/. Source: about 1 year ago

I personally prefer DNS proxy servers like https://smartdnsproxy.com and it works well in Georgia. Source: about 1 year ago

When I have had issues with my VPN accessing region locked services, smartdnsproxy.com has worked really well. Source: about 1 year ago

I use https://smartdnsproxy.com/ with the TV's native apps (reset to UK region) and an Apple TV. BBC, ITV, C4 & C5, UKTV et al. Even Sky Go works. Source: over 1 year ago

Are you using the smartdnsproxy.com service, or are you hosting your own with a VPS? Like this: https://github.com/Seji64/SniDust? And what is your use case for the DNS proxy? Accessing geo-locked content? Source: almost 2 years ago
