As a punishment: Compile and install ISC BIND from source and configure it 8)

Many home routers can resolve starting from root or if you must then: 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 will get you started. You might consider 9.9.9.9 and there are quite a few others.

I never, ever, ever, recommend using ISP provided DNS unless you know how they are configured. The anycast jobbies at least publish a policy of some sort.



Which home routers can resolve recursively instead of needing upstream DNS? I’ve never seen this across many brands of home routers.

Your ISP publishes T&Cs and a privacy policy too.

Furthermore, your ISP’s resolver is probably in your ISP’s network, so your queries don’t have to go out through peering/transit.


"Which home routers ..."

Drayteks have a lot of options built in, including a funky DNS implementation. I've personally largely dumped them for rather more complicated jobbies but they are still very capable.
