NextDNS fixed my connection issue, caused by the worldwide outage.

Since the forums is mostly used for problems and ideas for the most part, I just wanted to be like dang this is cool. So I live in Turkey and my ISP is having a major outage after the whole world wide outage that impacted things like Facebook and such. It's been going on for a few hours. The weird but funny thing is, it seems that their DNS server is not resolving anything for the most part. I didn't bother setting NextDNS on the router since I use DoT on my phone. I was like why not try changing the DNS to NextDNS on my router and see if that works. Now I have internet access, so I just wanted to thank the NextDNS team, they are using some solid infrastructure, when Facebook and my ISP is down but NextDNS is just fine lol.

 

Also, the issue is a worldwide problem where Routers said "Facebook was inaccessible because users were not being directed to the correct place by the Domain Name System" source (https://www.reuters.com/technology/facebook-instagram-down-thousands-users-downdetectorcom-2021-10-04/) it's just amazing in my opinion how NextDNS simply isn't impacted by any of this and got me back online.

    As additional information here is the Uptime from PerfOps same service that provides DNS Perf in the last 48 Hours / When the whole Facebook DNS issue happened.

    What happened:

    (https://blog.cloudflare.com/october-2021-facebook-outage/)

    1.1.1.1 - 99.96 %

    NextDNS - 99.95 %

    Google - 99.93 %

    DNSFilter - 99.82 %

    Cisco Umbrella - 99.71 %

    Quad9 - 99.47 %

    It isn't a huge downtime in any of the services but the fact that Cloudflare basically the company that holds most of the internet together and NextDNS being 00.01% apart in terms of Uptime while the Outage happened seems nice to me.
