nth plan meet your criteria. They give you a Xeon-class CPU and a 1 Gbits link, but there's a clause about reasonable use, so typically it's best to keep it under 100 Mbits unless you buy a higher tier. Servers are in CA and UK. I don't remember what container they use though. -- Jesse V signatu

EC. Although DNSSEC doesn't provide confidentiality for DNS queries, it does provide authentication and integrity checks. Unbound with a large cache and DNSSEC re-enabled is probably superior to Unbound+DNSCrypt without DNSSEC. The point still stands though; you can secure and optimize an exit's DNS
