Hello Neil,
Thank you for posting here.
You could use local system account or specific account to start eh DNS
client service. Also the DNS client service can communicate with the ISP.
Usually DNS queries to the ISP do not need any credential information. As
a result, your ISP cannot obtain any private information via this method.
The following is some related information:

I am not sure if I have addressed all of your concerns. If I have
misunderstood, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Thanks and regards,
