Which is best upstream DNS server?
Blake Butler
Joshua Roberts
That is not a girl.
Leo Thomas
None of them. Just use your ISP's DNS. It's usually the quickest option.
Charles Ward
Use googles, we all do
Lucas Wilson
Last time I checked OpenNIC was pretty good. Although it can vary since it's completely run by the community.
Justin Phillips
he could actually pull it off if it wasn't for his haircut and awful clothes
Noah Myers
Susceptible to censorship and flat our blocks.
Level 3 has been in the game forever and has never been found to censor or block any domains
Brody Gomez
all of them
Caleb Gomez
L3 is being bought by Comcast as we speak though.
Liam Miller
Second for OpenNIC. That’s what I’ve been using for the last few months and it has been reliable. Not using DNSCrypt though which is a shame (thanks pfSense).
Bentley Roberts
this
use dnscrypt
Ryder Jenkins
OpenNIC
Jayden Sanders
What a cutie pie.
>Which is best upstream DNS server?
The one provided by your ISP.
Thomas Wood
These guys are correct. OpenNIC is great, and the fastest of all the completely free ones (except for google, but don't use google's DNS servers for obvious reasons). DNS.watch is a close second. Use OpenNIC's anycast servers BTW. Best choice so you don't have to reconfigure your DNS settings any time you move.

Colton Foster
why not run your own?
unbound w/dnssec?
Michael Kelly
Kinda looks like Mr Repzion
Brayden Nguyen
you still have to have somebody upstream
Levi Bailey
he looks like one of my childhood friends, wonder if he fell for the trap meme
John Anderson
i use openDNS.
also, anyone else notice they no longer get captchas at all after switching to pihole? kinda nice.
Gavin Torres
yeah, the root servers, not any other dns servers if you dont set any forwarding
>Resolver
>Takes a query from a client (either local or over network) and gets the answer, eith by going directly to root DNS servers and working through the DNS tree, or by using configured 'forwarders' to pass the query onto another resolver (similar to the way the stub resolver would).

Maybe if you have a shite ISP and live in Burgerland.
The rest are either botnet options: Google, OpenDNS (Cisco), L3, Norton, or slow and unreliable (openNIC). You can even test it yourself. Ping 8.8.8.8, and then ping your closest openNIC server and see which is quicker.
Carter Hill
who is this cutie?
Leo Hernandez
That's a really useful test if you happen to live in the same building as whoever did the test
Aiden Morales
It's a GNUmale
Hunter Butler
Is this Femanon? That namefag Femanon
Ryder Williams
Of those, Level3 is pretty good. But you should just browse to OpenNIC and use some of theirs. Or use Tor DNS.
Logan Jones
they go in-depth in the article and made a point of only using anycast servers, so it's as accurate as you're going to get from someone else. anyway, OpenNIC is ideal for those in the US because their servers are spread through key states from the west down to the east coast.
Oliver Hughes
too bad it has about 64% uptime
Jose Ward
pihole sucks because it blocks by default some services under false-positive requests so that you can get random errors from EVERYTHING only because that little login client was using some weird address to load latest news and updates in the wndow
Samuel Nelson
rose didn't age too well, I guess.
