Using NextDNS you are getting the same capability served by a global anycasted network of resolvers and it can work even on your phone while away from home (because the mobile web is even more gross).
- runjake 4y agoI love, use, and subscribe to NextDNS, but round trip times from my house to their nearest Anycast address are large enough to notice a substantial difference loading webpages, over using a local caching DNS server (or 8.8.8.8 Anycast, for that matter).
- tristor 4y agoYes, that is true. They don’t have as many PoPs as Google and CloudFlare do. Thus is why I use a local caching resolver in front of it. If you use Firefox on desktop and configure it to use DoH it also internally caches which greatly helps performance. The benefits outweigh the downsides, and at least in North America the performance is good.
