Public DNS and DNS-over-TLS (DoT)
The DNS setup inst that complicated, its made up of open source software running in virtual machines in a virtual private cloud. The DNS server core runs a simple public blacklist to block common ads and some malicious actors from local active threat protection. There is some consideration to split the service adfree.world in two so one can be a filter and the other unfiltered. This is for some providers deciding that ad filtering interferes with DNSsec. This maybe true for some public dns providers but the DNS server supports DNSsec throughout the filtering process.
The argument that some put forward is compelling like

Because there is public interest in unfiltered DNS I am looking at ways to host two. Because hosting a public DNS server is not profitable, it will take much consideration on how this is achieved.
This aside, DNSsec is supported and our filters are 98% from public block lists, for example like

logging is minimal and there is no Per user tracking ,though there is traffic monitoring. Traffic monitoring is used only for security purposes in protecting the services provided. ThreadmarkCyber is not interested in selling user data. The service is hosted in Australia and is subject to other jurisdictions in France.
