EdgeOS Nextdns CLI stop working

Context:

- Nextdns CLI 1.38.0

- Platform: EdgeOS

- Hardware: Edgerouter X (firmware EdgeRouter X v2.0.9-hotfix.5)

- Diag result: https://nextdns.io/diag/a5150a80-90ea-11ed-91f8-e5aeb9f0fab3

 

I just realised last night, "nextdns cli" stopped working as it route to anycast DNS. 

I managed to stop and restart -> no luck

Refresh (remove and add profile) -> no luck

Directly add customised nextdns over Chrome browser -> ok, works 

 

A few event on attached screenshot.

QQ: 

1. Is there any config changes on nextdns or service down that we dont know?

2. From the log event, is that normal behaviour? couple times connected to the same address for less than 10minutes

3. Should I reinstall nextdns cli (hope not :D)

    From your test report, it seems to be working. CLI may use anycast, it does not mean it is not working.

      NextDNS why it use anycast while the dedicated address available and ping are on lower than anycast?

      Jaka You can set the CLI to only use ultralow by using the forwarder setting in the config. 
      See “nextdns config set help” for the details.

      NextDNS curl -> goes to dediserve-jkt, but the ping result goes to anycast

      aruna@EdgeRouter-X-5-Port:~$ curl https://dns.nextdns.io/info --connect-to ::45.114.118.156

      {"locationName": "🇮🇩 Jakarta, Indonesia", "pop": "dediserve-jkt", "rtt": 2960}aruna@EdgeRouter-X-5-Port:~$

      NextDNS I did to set the forwarder to 45.114.118.156 (works perfectly) - Anyhow to revert to a default address, say when I moved around the region (Singapore, Malaysia, Bangkok).  

      nextdns config set -forwarder https://dns.nextdns.io#45.114.118.156

      (updated Jan 14, 2023) - I wanted every request has log, and the command I use: 
        

      sudo nextdns config set -forwarder https://dns1.nextdns.io/{myNextDNS ID}/{MyRouterName}

      Thanks @r_p_m and @nextdns
