Last weekend I decided to give NextDNS another chance, you know, to see if the speeds were still as slow as I remembered.
Maybe it is because I have a new PC, but it feels faster so far then it first felt. Any way I checked dnscheck.tools website if the connection was good. And for the most part it shows that it is good ... however there are moments when I checked that I saw all of this?
I could be wrong, but for something that should connect to the closest servers from where I live, should not connect to many of those. But this is not the only DNS service that does this. I switched back to dns0.EU to see if it would happen there as well. Well, it connected to the right servers, but it also seems to connect to a Google server in Washington DC. And Cloudflare did not show anything strange, but it is US owned so it can look around with you anyway.
But dns0.EU is from Europe so why the F does it need to connect to a Google server in Washington DC, and why does NextDNS have moments where it connects to so many different servers worldwide?
