[ANSWERED] Back on Linux - It's Always DNS
[ANSWERED] Back on Linux - It's Always DNS
Hello friends!
I made the switch from Windows back to Linux over the weekend, and so far almost everything is going swimmingly. Distro of choice is LMDE, and Steam and Proton are running like a dream.
I am having one minor issue which I've resolved in an unsatisfactory manner. Online games keep disconnecting frequently on loading new areas. This is occurring most noticeably on Guild Wars 2, Last Epoch, and Path of Exile.
I've resolved the issue by switching my DNS from my ISP default to Google's 8.8.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 service. No issues since the change.
So, this is not ideal since I'd like to break away from Google services for improved privacy. Are there any ethical DNS providers I can point to for reliable gaming, or are there any alternative solutions I should look into?

Mullvad provides DNS servers: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls
As for a fallback option, I'd go with cloudflare's
1.1.1.1over google's offerings: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/what-is-1.1.1.1/Does Mullvad allow public use of that or is it for Mullvad customers only ?
From their website:
You can use this privacy-enhancing service even if you are not a Mullvad customer.
Thanks.
