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.
