I suspect this really screws with the DNS tricks used by many CDNs to route requests to near-by servers. So I would not be surprised if, when using this, YouTube, Netflix, etc, get much slower.
- ignoramous 8y agoI see the website loading speeds are affected, but I think it is worth it. This is a good stop-gap for anyone who have not setup a pi-hole just yet but at do not want to install an app or an extension in its stead. Prior to this, I was running Intra [0] on my Android phone to route all DNS traffic to cloudflare-dns and had been pretty happy to use it in tandem with PrivacyBadger, uMatrix, and uBlockOrigin on Firefox. Someone suggested using AdAway [1] on rooted devices and another app that does a similar trick of running a local VPN on Android through user supplied hosts file. Great alternative.

- LogicX 8y agodepends whether or not they're passing EDNS0 Client Subnet data to the authoritative DNS parties, and whether those parties are listening for it / trusting it. We embed ECS data in our requests at DNSFilter to the authoritative upstreams, and we have a large global anycast network, so even if they're not accepting it, the answer is coming from a server 'nearby' the originating dns request, so CDN requests shouldn't be affected much.
