CloudFlare DNS
Would there be any issues with changing the modem's DNS server to CloudFlare's 1.1.1.1? I just want to make sure that the communications with the satellite won't go crazy. Thanks.
The next most popular (after Google's) is probably OpenDNS. A lot of people use it.
I belive that OpenDNS also offers some customizable filtering options with "OpenDNS Home", though you don't have to do any of that and you can just use their DNS.
It won't affect communications with the satellite or anything like that. Actually, quite a few people with HughesNet use an alternate DNS, with Google's being the most prominent. It looks like Cloudflare's secondary/alternate DNS is 1.0.0.1, so you'd want to use 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 for the primary and secondary, respectively.
Hope it works well. :)
Edit: I defer to Mark's reply below. He knows better than I.
