Quad9 9.9.9.9 DNS queries *from Germany* slow today

3•oriettaxx•1h ago
DNS on 9.9.9.9 appears to be very slow since this morning (UTC time zone), querying from Germany

don't know if this status is "normal"

https://status.quad9.net/smap/

Try testing many of the open recursive servers with dnsperftest [1] to see if Quad9 stands out. not my repo

Also run it from other servers/VM's to compare and contrast if you can.

super! thank you

and it confirms (from my laptop, of course)

I tried in Usa and Italy, and quad9 there has fast performance, so the issue I experience is probably limited to queries from Germany (so I've updated the title)

Bender•1h ago
Nice. If nothing else that gives a list of alternatives to use in the mean time and a way to tell when one could switch back to Quad9. 1000ms = time out.
