@Gangelo Please tell us the reason why you prefer OpenDNS DoH, does it offer any advantage compared to Cloudflare, Quad9 or even NextDNS?
OpenDNS has never had a downtime throughout the years I have been using it, contrary to Cloudflare which had outages a few times. No need for NextDNS because all DNS queries go through Adguard with the Adguard DNS filter. Quad9 is a solid option but since F-Secure handles the security aspect I do not need an antimalware DNS service.

Also, I would set UAC to Always Notify.

Please specify the 3rd party scanners used in Periodic scanning.
With voodooshield installed, I do not need to set UAC to always notify. It would be overkill.

I do not use 3rd party scanners. The periodic scan is scheduled in F-Secure.
