This looks great, but unfortunately CloudFlare has 1ms ping for me but NextDNS has 50ms. I'm not quite sure how it can reply in 1ms, but that's what I'm getting.
PING 1.1.1.1 (1.1.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: icmp_req=1 ttl=58 time=0.661 ms
64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: icmp_req=2 ttl=58 time=0.638 ms
64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: icmp_req=3 ttl=58 time=0.615 ms
64 bytes from 1.1.1.1: icmp_req=4 ttl=58 time=0.654 ms
I do have a fiber connection to my ISP, but still, 1 ms is pretty low. I wonder if something else is replying, but I tried 1.1.1.2 as well and the latency is the same.
I use it as my DNS server, so it's working fine, but that's a good idea. Unfortunately, my home router intercepts all DNS queries and reroutes them to its own dnsmasq (which forwards to 1.1.1.1), so I can't do a proper benchmark unless I disable it.
I do wonder what's going on, but here's my traceroute to 1.1.1.1:
Interesting. Looks like I have the same thing going on at home, because I have 2.8 ms to 1.0.0.1 and 0.5 ms (!) to 1.1.1.1: https://i.imgur.com/5qpMbuh.png. Both answer to DNS queries, though.
For me it's not so bad, just 10ms, but my ping to Google and CloudFlare DNS is 0.8ms.
The weird thing is that on their front page they claim to have a PoP in Zürich, the nearest city, yet my traffic is going via DE-CIX. My ISP (AS13030) even peers with Misaka Network (AS57695), which appears to be their backend.
