Public DNS Providers
For every provider I’ve extracted IPv4 addresses for Preferred and Alternate servers and Hostname for TLS authentication (DNS-over-TLS aka DNS-Over-QUIC). By default, TLS Port is 853. This hostname is useful for setting Android “Private DNS” option.
In the end, I found an incredibly high-quality source of information about all Known DNS Providers, maintained by AdGuard DNS, but it is open-source on their GitHub repository: dns-providers.md. If I had found this earlier, I wouldn’t have even written this document.

Dnswarden is the most configurable DNS service and as such, it doesn’t make much sense if you are using an IP, but it’s perfect if you’re using DNS-Over-TLS. Therefore, it’s one of my favorites.
