US-Mid West Based, keep getting assigned to Anexia-Rio. ~150 ms response time

Olivier Poitrey  I am seeing odd behavior. I am located in the US Midwest. However,  If I look at dnsleaktest.com or test.nextdns.io I often see "anexia-rio-1" as the server in use.

I checked with the diag tool and see a good amount more info. Is this working as expected?

    I've had to switch to cloud flare to get decent response times for the time being. If this can't get sorted out, I'll have to cancel my account since it's unusable for me at present.

      Olivier Poitrey  seems to still be assigning me to RIO, I ran a couple refreshes. I'm also not seeing ATL on the list at all. Normally when I was assigned to CHI and ATL, everyone was happy.

      Olivier Poitrey Now you have me cooking with fire, thank you very much!!! Can I please ask what was done? Was there a routing issue on the backend that you fixed, or have you just hardcoded my customer profile to use ATL and CHI? :-)

      Hans Geiblinger just a routing issue with your ISP preferring our anexia-rio PoP thru level 3.

      Olivier Poitrey You are a champion and a scholar, thank you! I assume anyone else in the Midwest on Comcast will also be thankful for the lower latency response times.

      Hans Geiblinger This also got my anycast2 from Rio to Amsterdam - still not the closest to Pennsylvania, but a decrease in latency from 150ms to 85ms. So I am thankful too!

    I am in NY and get bunch of random servers from France 🇫🇷 Brazil 🇧🇷 Australia 🇦🇺 Anexia-Rio also there but they are anycast 2 which is secondary DNS . I wish that secondary DNS was at least from  USA I don’t mind if it’s from west coast but again it’s the worst case scenario. Your primary DNS is Vultr which is getting excellent ping!
