Project mention: Adguard adblocker vs Adguard DNS? | /r/Adguard | 2023-06-21

There's no difference between the free and freemium in regards to customizability while using VPN since both offer DoT endpoints. On Android, with the standard WireGuard & OpenVPN app you can use any DoT provider you want since the Android Private DNS setting takes precedence over the DNS settings in the VPN app. In Windows you can run https://github.com/AdguardTeam/dnsproxy locally, that way the VPN won't intercept and modify the local DNS traffic (the DNS upstream still goes through the VPN, but if you use DoT/DoH/DoQ then it continues to the DNS server you prefer).
AdGuardDNS

Public DNS resolver that protects you from ad trackers

In the case of AdGuard DNS being open source does not change the fact that it is a centralized service and using such a service is a matter of trust.
