Better DNS response for Reddit CDN (Fastly)?
Hello,
I've finally found the issue causing images and videos to load very slow on Reddit (sometimes it can take 7-8 seconds for a video to even start playing on a lowest quality with a 100 Mbit/s connection). The NextDNS servers for any of the following:
www.redditmedia.com, www.redditstatic.com, preview.redd.it, v.redd.it, i.redd.it
always give me the same response:
199.232.137.140
After checking here:
https://dnschecker.org/#A/i.redd.it
https://dnschecker.org/#A/v.redd.it
It looks like the Cloudflare, Google, OpenDNS and many more providers return the following IP addresses instead:
151.101.129.140
151.101.65.140
151.101.1.140
151.101.193.140
Indeed, after switching to Cloudflare and Google for testing purposes, videos and images on Reddit are loading almost instantly. Then I switched back to NextDNS and the issue came back again.
My diagnostics:
https://nextdns.io/diag/d6e3add0-6294-11ec-a5e2-d5cbdc939c6f
Is there any way to get the better (for me) 151.101.*.* DNS responses in this case while using NextDNS?

I also have this problem, it's really slow reddit with nextdns, will be great to get it resolved
on the main reddit page, the images don't load and I get this message "Sorry, we couldn't load posts for this page."

What do you get for https://www.fastly-debug.com with nextdns?

it's now "Collecting data please wait" for 15 minutes
While I don't seem to have issues with Reddit, I also see this status never finishing.
