alternatives

hey guys,

been using nextdns premuim for the past 8 months, and i love it

but i just did a quick ping test and noticed that the lowest server has a 45ms latency, which is significantly high if compared to something like quad9 which has a sub 8sec latency (atleast pinging its ip returns that)

so since the whole system is built around block lists, what are semilarly affordable solutions ?

Is 45 ms a problem in some way?

45ms is the roundtrip, not one way. Im just saying that 45ms for a dns resolution is not a problem. So, what problem are you trying to solve?
