Sorry for jumping in but since AG is mentioned.

If you want to have all the data under you control, there's this: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome

Regarding open source, AdGuard DNS actually is: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardDNS

In the case of AdGuard DNS being open source does not change the fact that it is a centralized service and using such a service is a matter of trust.
