    Script worked fine on my MacBook Air running macOS Big Sur (not M1). Ran the script on 30/01/2021.

    It reported a higher latency of 99ms on the IPv6 link to gsl-per (Perth, Australia) which I think is normal from Sydney, Australia. Latency to local gsl-syd and vltr-syd was 6-7 ms  on both IPv4 and IPv6 which is very good.

    I have uploaded the test results via the script.

      Khairul Are you using a DNS server (either on your phone or at the router level) that's in the US?

      Romain Cointepas I'm using both DoT (Private DNS for Android 9+) and Android below than Android 9, I'm using DoH in Chrome. Ya that's from US server. My ISP is AS4788 (Malaysia). I'll put result from test.nextdns.io for your reference.

      Khairul The reason you're being sent to US servers with NextDNS is that the DNS server in your network (what's used to first resolve dns.nextdns.io) is something hosted on Amazon AWS in the US (3.18.127.41). My guess is down the line on your network, a custom US DNS server is set?

      Romain Cointepas oh i see, you right!.. I don't know thats my dns on my router affect nextdns ultralow route, because I just want to use nextdns on my portable devices but not on my home router. Thank for your support 👍

      Romain Cointepas https://alternate-dns.com/ they just upgraded their infrastructure, hosted by Amazon AWS (I guess) which is fast in my country (routed to Amazon Singapore). Idk thats affect my NextDNS DoT and DoH on my phone. So I changed back to Cloudflare.

      Romain Cointepas https://nextdns.io/diag/ab23db60-7394-11eb-8d0e-4bbc5409628a

      Yeah all route to Singapore (IPv4 & IPv6), except anycast2 route to London (IPv4 & IPv6). I think it would be nice if you can fix anycast2 route maybe? But I don't think it will be used in my case because I'm using DoT and DoH which is NextDNS using ultralow I guess. Maybe some other user from my ISP use unencrypted DNS from NextDNS. It would be good if anycast2 (both IPv4 & IPv6) are faster too. 😉
