I run a PiHole and have Quad9 as the upstream resolver instead of the ISP. That was pretty simple to setup as well. You can also do DNS-over-HTTPs and other options as well for content filtering to block malware and items of DNS upstream.

Cloudflare DNS proxied dns to be exact too. They also allow DNS only which is not routed through Cloudflare and the services.
It did have a pretty good storyline all the way through. There were some moments I thought could have been done slightly different but it’s still in a top 10 list when asked what is a favorite or watch again list.
Some favorites and good ones to watch
I was going to mention this as well. I went from Google, to Authy, to Raivo OTP and never looked back. Their sync system is great too.
They have a website too with more articles as well https://raivo-otp.com/
Changing ports isn’t a terrible thing, also not the perfect “fix” either, as you can still recognize open ports and scan the service on them.
Some ports are reserved in networking, so should stay away from those.
Some ISPs don’t allow you open ports on 80/443 as those are web hosting ports and they provide a service to consumers to download content from the internet, not for their consumer to be a web hosting provider as well. That’s at the residential level, if you have a business plan that might change, but it might be hard to convince and ISP otherwise.
