NextDNS over IPv6 is very slow and times out continuously

Posted this as comments in existing bug reports, but got a response that this issue warrants a separate report.

 

dig/nslookup using either the primary or secondary give timeouts:

$ nslookup google.nl 2a07:a8c1::xx:xxxx
;; communications error to 2a07:a8c1::xx:xxxx#53: timed out
Server: 2a07:a8c1::xx:xxxx
Address: 2a07:a8c1::xx:xxxx#53

Already contacted my ISP, and they could reproduce the issue, they changed the routing, but it had no impact unfortunately (they could see that as well).

Tried to use the diag tool, but it didn't want to POST since the dns lookup for that failed (commented on an existing issue there).

      Hi Ron, I'm on Freedom Internet, not Ziggo. But I guess, feel free to share your diag as well if you have similar issues?
