I second the question


AFAIK, Google's public DNS server do not block.


I have had to use Google's DNS at several facilities because
the DNS's provided by the ISP's did not resolve too many web
sites properly. Calling and complaining about each bad
resolution was just not worth my time.


I use Domain Name Speed Benchmark from
https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm. It has built-in lists of DNSes
and popular URIs. Launched, it tests each DNS in its list against the
entire list of URIs. For each DNS, it then produces a report showing
the averages speeds of resolveing URIs into IP addresses and the success
rate (a percentage) of resolving. It also highlights those DNSes that
redirect you to alternative sites (including domain registries) for
unresolved URIs. I use this occasionally to update which DNSes I want
my system to use.

eliminate itemized deductions for

There are several of those. The problem with that kind of benchmarking is that you
get a picture of what the situation is at the time you run the check. Things may be
different in an hour or even less. Running one and then another immediately after
will often produce somewhat different results.

I use it about once a year. My ISP's servers are usually the
fastest.

My ISP's DNSs redirect requests for non-existent domains to the ISP's
domain registry service, asking me if I want to "buy" the requested
domain. I never use those DNSs.

Any better or worse than Open DNS?


OpenDNS sends you to their website when a DNS lookup is blocked (I
think,) that's OK since it might give you an option of going there
anyway if you want to. I haven't tried because: OpenDNS also sends you
to their stupid webpage if you mistype something, and I find that really
annoying. I also cannot use my old hostname tool (I think all it does is
use nslookup) with OpenDNS.

If I recall, 9.9.9.9 will only return NXDOMAIN on blocked DNS entries,
so you have to way to "continuing" to the website.

I use this to get an option to keep going:
199.85.126.10 = Norton ConnectSafe5 public dns server
199.85.127.10 = Norton ConnectSafe5 public dns server
