If you need a temporary public resolver and you don't want to send more
info to google, you can use these public resolvers from Level 3:
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3
4.2.2.4
You should normally use and know the DNS servers provided by the most
local networks you're in. If any of these are untrustworthy or
problematic, 4.2.2.2 should work well enough to get online to sort it out.
Here is an interesting intro to the subject (be sure to also read the
comments):
