    Hello support team,

    I am facing network performance issues (especially in Multiplayer Online Games and with Audio / Video Streaming (e.g. Amazon Prime / Apple Music or Video). I am using a Peplink Balance Router with 2 WAN internet providers (Telekom DSL and Vodafone LTE) to gain enough speed at our countryside region in south-west of Germany close to the French border (slow bandwith region far away from bigger cities).  I am unsing 2 different nextdns-Profiles for every of the lines (having a separate dyndns address each).

    Can the problem maybe have todo with my location, as Nextdns seems to connect to DNS Servers at France insteand of German servers?

    I would appreciate, if you could please review the following logs.

    Diagnose results using Vodafone: https://nextdns.io/diag/ea674920-93a0-11eb-ac31-f10bbd007106

    Something I can do?

    Kind regards,

      Thanks for your kind help!

      What is the technical reason that disabling ECS, cacheboosting and cname flattening boosts the speed?

    Hello!

    I’m having issues getting the closest server. Keeps on going to zepto-sin and is fixed if I restart the service or router (CLI on ASUS router).

    CLI client keeps being routed to `anexia-lis` POP despite being US based. I am on a UDM Pro. The diag script on the router itself is stalling because one of the traceroutes does not complete. The linked output here is from my laptop and I've pasted some of the output from diag on the UDMP below as well.

    Hey guys, would appreciate it if you could give me some feedback on this. 

    https://nextdns.io/diag/93656d40-b214-11eb-ad4d-7bf757c73c07

    I don't think I am connecting to the ultra low latency servers at all, my average response time is in the region of 200-300ms. So I suspect that I am connecting to edgeuno-sao or anexia-lon

    Please advise on how I can optimally connect to the closest server.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I'm being routed to the wrong server, I'm in Sydney but instead all my traffic is being sent via Melbourne. Can this be fixed so that it goes via Sydney instead?

    Since as a private user I do not have the possibility to send an email, I leave my good-bye comment here: I tried the service and even signed up for a paid yearly plan but after some weeks of usage I repeatedly got outages where I could not open a legit website. Happened both on mobile and desktop devices across the family. It seems the DNS server was down. After a couple of minutes it worked again but this was not acceptable. Switched back to Cloudflare for families again. Would have loved to use the service because I think the idea is great.

    https://nextdns.io/diag/26e54060-b3d0-11eb-b104-fb4765e971c6 in case anyone wants to investigate further. Diagnostics was created after I switched back to Cloudflare.

    Here's mine. Can anything be improved? I'm using it in YogaDNS. Set it to 45.90.30.*** because this one seems to have lower a ping than 45.90.28.*** and ultra latency option in YogaDNS.

    Hi!

    I am using NextDNS CLI on a UDM Pro.  Everything on my LAN is using the UDM Pro for DNS and works great except for POP selection.

    I ran the diag, which shows the usual experience - there are IPv6 POPs with much lower latency not being used via my network:

    https://nextdns.io/diag/05950970-b742-11eb-a7c6-9191009ccac3

    Geographically speaking certainly not far off - I don't know if my ISP has their subnet spanning multiple sites.  Any tweaking NextDNS could do would be great!

     

    Cheers!

      Adam Roberts Turns out, if I disable CNAME flattening I consistently hit the closest ultralow POP.
