# TO BE REMOVED (already ported)
The Pi-hole setup offers 8 options for an upstream DNS Provider during the initial setup.
```
Google
OpenDNS
Level3
Comodo
DNS.WATCH
Quad9
CloudFlare DNS
Custom
```
During the pi-hole installation you select 1 of the 7 preset providers or enter one of your own. Below you can find more information on each of the DNS Providers, along with some additional providers which have different kinds of extra filtering options (spam, phishing, adult content, etc).
### Google

OpenDNS also provides the *OpenDNS FamilyShield (free)* option. The service blocks pornographic content, including our “Pornography,” “Tasteless,” and “Sexuality” categories, in addition to proxies and anonymizers (which can render filtering useless). It also blocks phishing and some malware.
