Suggestions on free & uncensored DNS servers (fast from Northern Europe)?

Free, uncensored, from northern europe (Denmark): https://blog.censurfridns.dk/

honorable mention: Digitale Gesellschaft (Switzerland): https://www.digitale-gesellschaft.ch/dns/

As for DNS Benchmarking: I used a Shell Script to check the performance of my pi hole. I got that from github, just look for "dns benchmark github" and you'll find tons of script in all languages people wrote.

Edit: got two more:

Dns.watch (Germany): https://dns.watch/

Digital Courage (Germany): https://digitalcourage.de/support/zensurfreier-dns-server

Tried unbound ?

May want to take a look at quad nine dns server.

https://blahdns.com/, swiss based? It's also blocking ads.

You can set it on systemd I remember

Wait what does dns have to do with censoring? I though censoring would come from your internet provider and changing dns provider would not actually circumvent anything because the connection is still going through them. Am I completely mistaken?
