Nextdns choosing high latency servers over closer servers

Hi, 

It seems to be choosing servers in Dallas over local servers in Colorado 

diagnostic link: https://nextdns.io/diag/a6e814d0-5062-11f0-8ea5-c991b29c2198

Can you please help me ? Thank you in advance. :)

    Higher than x doesn't mean it is High. You have very good response time. 

    If you would set up your device to use encrypted DNS (DoH, DoQ, DoT) it would be better for privacy and a little bit faster (But still not noticeable, we are talking about a few milliseconds after all).

       thanks for the answer! I'm just curious since I have more local servers, and it always points towards Dallas for some reason, lol -- wanted to ask here if it was something that could be fixed or looked at. I change to Linux recently and still it points towards Dallas servers most of the time, so I was very curious regarding that. 

       

      I use the word "high" since there are a lot of options to choose that are closer and have better latency before getting to CA or Dallas servers. I'm still new to this and just curious to see what it can be. :)

    I already wrote the answer, use encrypted DNS (DoH, DoQ, DoT). This ones connect to the ultralow servers. If you use IPv4 or IPv6 they connect to the anycast ones. In the diagnosis you submitted it was marked anycast and ultralow. The same you can see on ping.nextdns.io

    Another useful one is test.nextdns.io

    On my.nextdns.io on the «Setup» tab look at the «Setup guide», you have so many options for Linux.

    You have many informations on the Knowledge Base on this site, there are also many here posted by users, you can use the search. 

    I was also clueless about most of this things when I started using NextDNS.
