Thank for the reply, using a VM as a DNS server it’s a nice idea but I have to pay another VM, I prefer to use my VPN and my Unbound server at home.
Trouble with WireGuard is not the DNS lag, those are all cached, but the normal latency increases about the double.
But I should explore the option to buy the DigitalOcean base base plan. At least to try to check the latency.
- LinuxBender 4y agoThere is extra latency in this setup but some of it can be mitigated by using a cron job to pre-lookup / pre-cache the most common DNS names that your setup requests. Unbound can also be told to set a min-ttl on all records at the risk of answer becoming stale but I find that to rarely be an issue. There are a handful of less expensive VM providers. Ramnode is one of them. I hear they have been improving in the last few years but I no longer have any VM's so I can't say for sure.
- giuliomagnifico 4y agoWell with unbound there’s almost no latency because it pre-downloads all the roots names. No need for cron job because it auto updates the root.hints file (usually once every 1/2 months) But I mean the latency to route all the DNS queries to my cheap VM instead of using the default ones. Thanks for the info of Ramnode!
