I didn’t know that quad9 has a setup guide for IPfire,
if I remember right, Quad9 actually had a rep here in the community. I have to search and find his handle.
I have been also wondering how "check DNS Servers " works in IPFire.
perhaps just querying with “dig” and analyzing flags??
dig ipfire.org @9.9.9.9 +dnssec
by the way I watched the YT video you posted above, and I am not getting an impression that quad9 is in the DNS business for purely “Not for profit” . It appears that they have a large PR budget.
but I don’t know anything about them.
I also found the discussion with their rep:
I use some of the recommended DNS servers in Wiki,
You will notice that “the not for profit” ones, are slower than the “for profit” ones like 1.1…1. or 2.2.2.
