My ISP is AT&T (located in the U.S.) and I have issues loading random websites. Currently have Google DNS set in my router, which works great. But I'm guessing there's a better, more private, option?

Don't use these unless you are properly configure them but even then... They are used for tracking

Mullvad and quad9 are better for privacy people

There are others tho
