MODERATORS
nextdns is the most performant option I've used. it often beats our cloudflare even. adguard wasn't bad but it was a bit more cumbersome and very slow.
I don't like recommending self hosting as opening ports on a private network isn't a great idea. you could use something like cloudflare or tailscale to bridge access but you'll run into issues with network speeds.
opening ports on a private network is fine as long as you exercise a sane amount of security measures.
most people don't nor do the aforementioned measures have substantial documentation that is easily accessible by the average user.
they aren't even meant for enthusiasts but rather, in industry professionals
enthusiasts become industry professionals.
And if substantial documentation were the only thing that kept networks from security and absolute anarchy, then all of the internet would be lost.
It's not documentation, nor is it absolute knowledge that brings someone to understand a sane amount of security. But also trial and error.
One of the most important first rules of security is, start testing in applications that pose the least amount of risk.
If you're looking into hosting your own DNS server, you've already proven you understand a lot more than the average user does about networking in general.
