I use DnsJumper. I use whichever is the fastest

Is Adguard DNS fast? I'm interested. I'm using Yandex DNS and I wonder how switching to Adguard DNS would impact performance.I am using Adguard DNS (Beta) so far so good. Adguard DNS offers not only security but also does blocking of Ads and Trackers as a bonus feature. Since the service is in Beta stage at the moment some may face issues.
Adguard DNS SERVERS:
Default
Use these servers to block ads, trackers and phishing websites.
176.103.130.130
176.103.130.131
Family Protection
"Default" + blocking adult websites.
176.103.130.132
176.103.130.134
A useful program! mines Google DNS which its fastest for me...I use DnsJumper. I use whichever is the fastest

Note, that Adguard does not have its own DNS servers, it routes through whichever are the closest, like Yandex, Google, OpenDNS, etc. So the speed is comparable.Is Adguard DNS fast? I'm interested. I'm using Yandex DNS and I wonder how switching to Adguard DNS would impact performance.
Since I haven't tried Yandex DNS unable to give a comparison. To give you a rough idea about its performance I felt Adguard DNS almost as fast as NortonDNS but lags behind GoogleDNS slightly. Performance of a DNS service varies from location though. Its recommended to try out each DNS services and settle on the best one you like.Is Adguard DNS fast? I'm interested.

This is true, After trying out various privacy & no logging DNS server's, trying to get the speed to match close to a well known, logging DNS server's speed. The sweet spot for me since I run various security set-up's depending on what I am doing, I force all my client's to request look-ups from the router so it can build a local cache of my most visited site's(such as this one). My router request its look-ups from tenta OpenNIC name resolver's.Most/Many have logging of some type. To be honest, logging DNS is a bigger problem than people think. Once again, setup a Pi-Hole then you can see the intrusive logging and what it can accomplish. Essentially a full profile of your network, security, programs, and even some vulnerabilities can be gathered from DNS logging.
The problem is, most non-logging, very private DNS have poor pings for me. The sweetspot for DNS is to get your pings to their servers under 50. Anything higher and you will notice some page load latency which can be frustrating. Virtually all of the private ones are 100-175ms for me rendering them useless.
Many ISP's now do this. Also remember the CIA front NebuAD which a lot of ISPs implemented to spy on their customers. Then there are their hosted mirrors of GoogleDNS, Paxfire Redirects, NX redirects on bad domains. Some ISP's still have old Paxfire DNS MiTM gear from 2012-2014 range still in operation. Paxfire was basically another Intelligence front in Reston VA that made MiTM appliances to capture data/intel on ISP customers.My ISP implemented transparent DNS proxy for censorship purpose. So, my only option is using DNSCrypt-proxy to avoid my ISP from meddling with the queries.
Obviously. VPN is the best possible option. I do have a couple of them. But I only use them as a last resort.VPN's tend to work pretty well.
Encryption of DNS can sometimes work.
Another common method is to use IPTABLES and redirect your DNS over Port 54 rather than the normal Port 53 of DNS, thus bypassing any monitoring/MiTM activity of your ISP (or others). (but this can get ugly, really fast, unless you know what you are doing)
