3.14. Set up public DNS Cloudflare/Google/Quad9

Attention!

If you get an error accessing any sites after setting up public DNS, you need to remove the public DNS settings or set up DoH, as your ISP may be blocking port 53.

Public DNS provides the speed, reliability, and convenience of resolving domain names to IP addresses. Typically, public DNS caches are updated faster than local provider DNS, so devices that use public DNS can see changes to a domain's DNS records and status more quickly.
