Or course, you have to trust that third party, which may/may not be prudent.
Comment on [WireGuard] Do I have to use my own DNS on a VPS in order to avoid DNS-leaks?

Keep in mind that using your own VPS as a VPN doesn’t bring anonymity. You’re simply replacing one IP tied to your name (your ISP) with another one (your VPS).
You hide your traffic from your ISP, and delegate it to your VPS provider.
This will be the same for your DNS. If you want true anonymity regarding DNS, you should use someone else’s service, preferably over encrypted channels, eg. cyberia.is DoT.
I personally use it as a forwarder from a box inside my home (along with others), and use this box as the local DNS when I’m home. This way I know that all DNS traffic is encrypted, and doesn’t leak anything to my ISP or VPS or whatever.

I haven’t asked for a hidden advert

Looks like you shouldn’t ask for anything at all, given that you cannot take a single answer without being a condescending jerk. I’m not affiliated to cyberia.is in any mean by the way just proposing a service that you could use to solve your problem if you were not too busy being a douchebag.

Two weeks later, I’m just scrolling through his comments to confirm that he’s still a dick. Also a Putin cocksucker.

Grass is green. Sky is blue. Keep this in mind – in case you don’t know this.
