**Note:** for different reasons, it is recommended choosing [Option 1: DoT & DNSSEC using systemd-resolved](https://minibolt.minibolt.info/bonus-guides/system/static-ip-and-custom-dns-servers#option-1-use-dot-and-dnssec-validation-with-systemd-resolved), but you could want to use [Option 2](https://minibolt.minibolt.info/bonus-guides/system/static-ip-and-custom-dns-servers#option-2-use-doh-with-cloudflared-proxy-dns), choose behind your criteria, both are valid to achieve the same objective.
