dns latency is the single biggest reason people think their internet is slow imho
- 8fingerlouie 2y agoI'm currently seeing 12ms latency to my upstream NextDNS server. On my home network I "proxy" it with a forwarding/caching DNS server on my router, so for "the usual suspects", latency is not an issue. On the go, over 5G, those 12ms won't make much of a difference. Considering that people deploy PiHole on Raspberry Pi W models, over wifi, you won't lose much running NextDNS, but you gain dns blacklisting on all networks, as opposed to just your home network (or via VPN)
- malfist 2y agoI'm not sure how that could be. Even if it's your first ever request to the host, the latency is a one time thing and then it's cached. Even an extra 100ms for DNS latency is going to be unnoticeable compared to an empty browser cache and having to download a bunch of images
