This. I measured the difference using `tcpdump`, and this was my conclusion: > A big advantage of using DNS queries instead of HTTP queries is bandwidth: querying ns-aws.sslip.io requires a mere 592 bytes spread over 2 packets; Querying https://icanhazip.com/ https://icanhazip.com/ requires 8692 bytes spread out over 34 packets—over 14 times as much! Admittedly bandwidth usage is a bigger concern for the one hosting the service than the one using the service. (I had set up a service to determine your IP address via DNS, i.e. `dig @ns.sslip.io txt ip.sslip.io +short`, and measured why it was (marginally) better than using HTTP)
