For self-hosted DNS (primarily internal DNS + maybe external / adblocking), which DNS server would you use?

I'm currently looking at AdGuard Home but their advertisement, russian background (moved to cyprus) kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth :/

I'm not looking to replace my existing DHCP setup.

Any recomendations?

It doesn't provide any configuration UI, but should provide anything you need. In case you're interested, I've written down my local setup using blocky and also how I run Kea as my DHCP server
