Fastest DNS to use in Thailand ? Does it matter ?

[thepdru 31]

hello, can you tell me what is the fastest DNS for you to use in Thailand ?

And is it the reason why you changed it ? is it faster ?

If we do not change the DNS in windows 10 settings, what is the default DNS ?

 

Thanks.

For most users, anyone that says they can tell the difference in speed of DNS lookups is lying. The difference is in the tens of milliseconds, beyond the limits of human perception, BUT, if you want to know. . .

 

Cloudflare, has servers in Bangkok:

1.1.1.1

1.0.0.1

 

Cloudflare Family safe (filters smut etc):

1.1.1.3

1.0.0.3

 

OpenDNS:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

 

OpenDNS Family Shield:

Filters smut, VPNs and proxies:

208.67.222.123
208.67.220.123

 

These are Forwarders, but you can run your own resolver at home if you choose to (i.e. a device that queries the root DNS servers directly) with something like a pfSense box or a Raspberry Pi. I run my own resolver on a very large enterprise network, but query DNS blocklists. Happy tinkering.

Sure, it could be psychological, but when I changed my DNS server, loading of pages definitely felt more "snappy."

Quad 9 is pretty good.

You can download this simple windows program that will simultaneously test several DNS Servers that it either gathers or you add by hand.

The DNS servers from your ISP should be the best.
