Hey gang, I’m considering using DNS4EU in Canada. My ping to their servers is ~130ms. That’s way longer than anything local which is on the order of 1-5ms. Apart from resolving uncached entries taking longer, is there any contraindication to using a DNS server with high latency?

    Question for the general public. Why not use the DNS server provided by your ISP?

    They already know what websites you visit, because TLS1.2 still leaks the hostname. They might as well provide some useful service in return.

      Not if you use a vpn. Being that this is Selfhosted, the best idea is to just host your own Recursive DNS server.
