i'm not sure where to post. is there a reason ping.nextdns.io is pulling moscow?

confusedperson Seeing as how you have other nodes responding with lower latency, I'd recommend you still do the diagnostic and report it to them. They may be able to update routes for your region and ISPs, so that the anycast IP resolves to a location closer to you to improve performance and not have to cross the border.

confusedperson Yes. NextDNS may or may not be able to influence the routes as your ISP sees them. They can try, but it depends on the diagnostic data you need to provide, and then they can either update their BGP routes and or request a route improvement with peering ISPs and the upstream ISPs. No guarantees as it's often dependant on 3rd party ISPs, but at least you can provide it and they can see what can be done.

confusedperson Yes. Exactly.
