You can set up a free Cloudflare plan and use their nameservers. Or if you have a Linode account you can add the domain there and use theirs.

Not only their nameservers, but I just found out that Cloudflare is also a registrar with a policy I like "at-cost pricing for registration and renewal."

I'm not sure how their tools are yet but my hope would be pretty good as I doubt there's a DNS configuration out there that CF hasn't seen yet.

Although IIUC you must use their nameservers if you use their registrar.

it pains me to object because Cloudflare truly has some great products and services, but if there's something worse than google controlling the internet, it's Cloudflare.

Cloudflare isn’t forcing people to use their services and can be swapped out for other providers.

DDoSes and various internet attacks suck to deal with.

I blame the people thinking attacking other people’s infrastructure is funny.

Yeah, the Internet is extremely adversarial, like almost comically so. Cloudflare's CDN/bot-mitigation stuff is very much a symptom of a far larger problem.
