I use OpenDNS on my router with some filtering setup to block sites I don't think folk should use on my service. I also have setup DoT to encrypt DNS and DNSSEC to prevent fiddling with the information. It has been suggested that some ISP's will intercept standard DNS (port 53) to provide simple blocking of pirate sites. (I can make no comment on VM, I don't know.)
