Earlier this year Cloudflare released their DNS resolver now Adguard has revealed theirs.

I have it up and running on an Android phone and this Windows 10 x64 PC.
The service offers a lot more than Cloudflare but it will cost a bit after the trial if you want the complete package..

Tried it out and found it to be a lot slower than the Quad 1 DNS service when connected to a VPN.

It's a convenient service for sure, and I would probably trust them over OpenDNS (primarily because of the latter's association with Cisco). This said, its similarly easy to just run a pi-hole connected to one of the OpenNIC servers. That gets you the DNS blackholing of essentially whatever you want with support for live DNS blacklists. It would also allow you to have good visibility into your network's traffic, block statistics, etc., and provide you a method of alerting yourself if malware or other suspicious domains are accessed from your LAN. The greatest benefit IMO though is that it's self-hosted.
