            Android Private DNS (DoT) connects to far server
@olivier
I use NextDNS with native Android Private DNS (DoT), no app. If I run the ping test at https://ping.nextdns.io/ I get this:
vultr-sjc       14 ms  (anycast1)
  do-sfo          14 ms
  vultr-lax       18 ms  (ultralow2)
  zepto-lax       21 ms
  anexia-lax      23 ms  (ultralow1)
  one-pdx         28 ms
  bronto-slc      30 ms
  smarthost-las   30 ms
  frantech-las    31 ms
  tier-pdx        57 ms
  anexia-zrh     157 ms  (anycast2)
But if I go from my phone to https://dnsleaktest.com it shows that it actually uses Anexia servers in Zurich which is ... far from California.
What's going on here?

It could be that the leaktest is using an older geoIP database or something, leading it to misidentify the actual endpoint location.

What is your network operator? Is it via WiFi or Cellular? If WiFi, are you able to run https://nextdns.io/diag from a host on the same network?
