DNS through Netguard (lemmy.ml)

I've been using adguards free DNS to eliminate adds and recently switched to Mullvads add free DNS. Mullvad lets through a few ads adguad catches but stops many other things. Since Netguard has 2 slots for DNS, I put them both. Is that a problem, or do I have the best of both worlds?

My understanding is the first one is the primary one, and will be used most of the time. The second one is the fallback and will be used if the primary isn’t reachable

Usually you’d have two different addresses from the same service to configure DNS

Listing addresses from two different services would get you a slightly inconsistent experience, where every once in awhile a different block list will be used
