Does OpenDNS Family Shield still work or did they get rid of it?

• Pi-hole

  A black hole for Internet advertisements

  

You could deploy either Pi-hole, or AdGuard Home. I use elements from both Pi-hole and AdGuard (AdGuard's dnsproxy, and Pi-hole's FTL, then Unbound+Redis, but I digress…).

• Unbound

  Unbound is a validating, recursive, and caching DNS resolver.

  

Many users (myself included) opt to leave out third party resolvers entirely and deploy a local recursive nameserver. I use Unbound. In the default recursive operation it queries the root nameservers directly, with responses validated using DNSSEC. So there's no potential of a third party upstream providing incorrect records, either accidentally or deliberately, and no one server gets the opportunity to log the full path of your resolution chain. Your ISP, Cloudflare, Google, OpenDNS or whatever may super duper pinkie promise not to log your resolution history or use it for whatever purpose, but why give them the opportunity to?
