Server Locations

Hi,

I was wondering where your severs were located. I just want to know how close the nearest one to me is at. I am comparing this to AdGuard DNS, and I am going to NextDNS, I just want to know where NextDNS servers are. Thanks!

    Hi,

    check out https://ping.nextdns.io to see the servers close by.

    The fastest ping I got was zepto-sjc, what is that?

    Also, in the image below, it has a square bullet point next to a server. Is that saying I am using that server? If so, why, there is a faster 5ms one.

    Thanks! One last thing, can I change the server that I use on NextDNS, because clearly there is a WAY faster server.

      Aiden Chu You can post a diag and let the NextDNS team know and they can see and route it better.

    What do you mean by diag?

      Aiden Chu I mean we're all in the community so if a link or saying something helps that's great.

    Wait, why do I need to use the software, why can’t I just use ping.nextdns.io and give it to the nextDNS people?

    Is there a web version of this?

      Aiden Chu No web version available, unfortunately. 

      What device have you got? It may be possible to do some of the tests with other third party tools.

      Aiden Chu So I guess it’s not possible to install apps on it?

    Nope.

    Well, thanks. I guess I just am going to stick to the slower server which is farther away.

      Aiden Chu Oh, one last thing, how are you setting up to use NextDNS? If you are using IP address, try switching the order of the DNS addresses.

    I am using the plain dns servers, like Cloudflare, 1.1.1.1
