Not to mention, the moment your servers go down, or inevitable DDoS attacks, there’s no ad blocking or DNS for the user. A cloud-based solution is not the best solution in the use-case of what’s supposed to be a system-wide firewall, DNS “changer,” and ad-blocker. If Cloud is going to be the ultimate stand alone on both iOS and NOW Android (le sigh), then it must offer the same granular controls - especially with DNS. Plus I like the option to switch to Cloudlfare’s malware protection servers, using AdGuard DNS to lighten the app adblocking load (until it’s server addresses got mixed-up in Blokada), and was on Quad9 for a few months until it became ridiculously overhanded on website filtering/censorship. DigitalCourage doesn’t have enough servers in North America, and thus is too slow to be my primary DNS provider. When Cloudflare arbitrarily blocks access to Archive.is/Archive.today/Archive.ph, I switch to DigitalCourage. This is why the option to change DNS servers on the fly has been a feature of Blokada. Moving beyond the privacy concerns of Google DNS, is the censorship. I’ve never used Google DNS for very good reason. It’s critical that user-side choice of DNS provider is not limited beyond the v4/v5 (Android) in-app DNS list.
