NextDNS periodically goes down for me (Dallas/Spectrum)
About once a day, NextDNS goes down for me, and I’m unable to connect to websites or the like. Typically, if I reboot my cable modem and router, that will usually fix things. (My issue sounds very similar to the issue that’s described here.)
The most recent time that this happened, which was about an hour ago, I followed the directions from the “Report network latency issue” page, and here are my results from my macOS 10.14 Mojave machine:
$ sh -c 'sh -c "$(curl -s https://nextdns.io/diag)"'
Welcome to NextDNS network diagnostic tool.
This tool will download a small binary to capture latency and routing information
regarding the connectivity of your network with NextDNS. In order to perform a
traceroute, root permission is required. You may therefore be asked to provide
your password for sudo.

My ip address is 70.122.129.34, my router is an Eero, and my ISP is Spectrum. And if there might be any other information that you may need, I’d be happy to provide it.

@nextdns I just noticed this happening again, so I thought that I’d provide some additional info—
When I went to https://test.nextdns.io on my MacBook Pro (running macOS 10.14.6), here’s what I got:
{ "status": "ok", "protocol": "UDP", "profile": "fp3183f763d1d8e3a8", "client": "2603:8080:6d00:25f6:31fc:3e9d:980c:cd2c", "srcIP": "2603:8080:6d00:25f6:31fc:3e9d:980c:cd2c", "anycast": true, "server": "vultr-dal-1", "clientName": "unknown" }
I also tried to load ping.nextdns.io, but it wouldn’t load for me. (image attached).
Lastly, I also tried running the diagnostic tool, but it quit early after the “press enter to accept” part:

@nextdns I’m not sure if this might be an additional data point, but I just noticed on my.nextdns.io that one of my configuration profiles says to configure my router to use these IPV4 DNS servers:
45.90.28.74 and 45.90.30.74
While my other configuration profile says to configure my router to use these IPV4 DNS servers:
45.90.28.248 and 45.90.30.248
Can I ask which one of those is correct?

Same Problem with Spectrum in Tampa. Something overnight happens with Spectrum / NextDNS / EERO combination. Just turned off NextDNS got tired of daily resetting the network.
