Summary and Usage Recommendations
When choosing DNS resolvers, you can combine local ISP DNS, global public DNS, and security / privacy-focused DNS according to your needs and run benchmarks to compare them. It is recommended to configure only a small set of stable, easy-to-remember addresses and keep one or two backup DNS servers so you can switch quickly in case of network issues or when moving between regions.
