I have been using NextDNS over the past two years, and am generally happy with their service. However, I’ve never compared their quality against the other recommended ones (like Control D, Quad 9, Mullvad, etc) particularly in terms of ping. I’m based in Australia. Any fellow Aussies using any of these services and care to share their experience, and potentially a recommended service?

My NextDNS renewal date is coming up and I’d like to know whether to stay or try other services.

      Yes. Your DNS queries will be sent to a group of DNS servers instead of just one and they all can respond. This helps lowering the latency and improves the reliability since not just one DNS server can respond to your DNS queries. The installation page of NextDNS uses the anycast IP addressess.
