Where in the world are you? Do you have a traceroute to 8.8.8.8?
- nodesocket 13y agoI am in DigitalOcean (San Francisco). The answer is simply distance/routing. I am guessing OpenDNS has an anycast node in DigialOcean (SF), where Google Public DNS does not. A ping tells the story. ping 8.8.8.8 => 24ms ping 208.67.222.222 => 1ms
- mburns 13y agoA traceroute would tell the story better.
- dsl 13y agoFrom DigitalOcean in SF I'm hitting the OpenDNS Palo Alto datacenter. Google is going to San Jose. Remember OpenDNS is a real business working to provide a service to real paying customers, Google DNS is just a fun little project of building an OpenDNS clone.
- adamseabrook 13y agoI believe all the DO droplets default to 8.8.8.8 so Google are probably applying some rate limiting across the DO network block during usage peaks.
