Check this list and choose the ones with the lowest ping from your node: https://www.lifewire.com/free-and-public-dns-servers-2626062
Make sure to avoid DNS servers marketed as "secure" (for example, do NOT use "Comodo Secure DNS") since they perform arbitrary censorship/redirection. Also, do not use Google as it already sees
30% of all Tor exit traffic.
On your node, run dnsmasq with a large (10000) cache as a fast and secure alternative to running a full DNS server. That can prevent some DNS-based timing attacks.

I got lots of "[WARN] eventdns: All nameservers have failed" with my own DNS server. With the 4 DNS servers I posted here a few minutes ago, I never saw this warning again.

What are the best DNS servers to use for Privacy? I have been using OpenNic Project servers which don't do logging, but recently found out about the Open Root Server Network (ORSN) and have been considering using them as well. Does anyone have any thoughts, positive or negative, about either of these? Are there better public DNS servers to use? Thanks Chuck
If I remember the following paper correctly, the best case scenario would be for each exit to run its own DNS resolver. You should read it and make sure I remember correctly ;)
