What annoys me is that there is no easy way to change DNS servers. Try on IOS, or Android and you'll find it such a hassle being hidden within other scary network settings. Windows you need to click through five different features and not forgetting that DNS is an alien word to most. Try and explain it in the simplest of ways such as "a phone book for computers" you've just bored the subject to death

I use OpenNIC and know how to navigate around my router. However for my mother, that's a whole different story.

This is no joke. Changing the DNS server on Android is difficult for anyone that hasn't hacked android since it's early days. And it is getting more difficult. The fact that it is not an easily accessible setting is an indication that it is designed deliberately to disempower people.

Then configure her router's DHCP to set DNS to the OpenNIC servers or to the router itself which forwards to OpenNIC. That has worked for all my devices, and would be a pain to configure otherwise.
