I feel kinda bad about feeding google with data. Is there some name server I can point my servers to that upholds my privacy and does not run analytics on the requests it gets?

I use the DNS resolver in pfSense which connects directly to the DNS root servers.
You can do that?
Yes, as long as you don’t have a crappy ISP that interferes with your DNS traffic.
My ISP is crappy in other ways
I do the same in opnsense. According to dnsperfbench, running my own resolver benchmarked as slightly faster or at minimum about the same performance as using any of the big public resolvers. I think the only concern is to make sure you’re not using your local resolver if you’re trying to use a VPN.
