Where are you testing from? I'm going to guess: a datacenter. Residential customers won't see anything this fast. I'm in a small town in Kansas, connected by 1 Gbit ATT fiber. I'm getting ~26ms to 1.1.1.1 and ~19ms to my private DNS resolver that I host in a datacenter in Dallas. Google DNS comes in around 19ms. I suspect that Cloudflare and Google DNS both have POPs in Dallas, which accounts for the similar numbers…

Are you in .ru? You might direct your questions at your ISP instead as it appears that someone may be intercepting your DNS requests. ---- To elaborate a bit, the differences in the (74.125.x.x) IP addresses being returned is somewhat normal and would usually be attributed to simple load balancing (as d33 pointed out). That is, 8.8.8.8 is actually a load balancer with several servers (including 74.125.46.8, 74.125.46…

I have static public /32. My ISP intercepting DNS traffic for censorship purposes. But i strongly doubt that this traffic is forwarded somewhere. [user@v-fed-1 ~]$ dig txt o-o.myaddr.test.l.google.com @8.8.8.8 +short "173.194.98.4" "edns0-client-subnet 94.181.44.185/32" [user@v-fed-1 ~]$ dig txt o-o.myaddr.test.l.google.com @8.8.8.8 +short "173.194.98.4" "edns0-client-subnet 94.181.44.185/32" [user@v-fed-1 ~]$ dig tx…

If you run those commands without the +short you will see that the TTL values for those responses are less than 59 (which for Google Public DNS, indicates they are cached, and explaining why the IP addresses shown are not yours).

The o-o.myaddr.l.google.com domain is a feature of Google's authoritative name servers (ns[14].google.com) and not of 8.8.8.8. You can send similar queries through 1.1.1.1 (where you will see that there is no EDNS Client Subnet data provided, improving the privacy of your DNS but potentially returning less accurate answers, as Google's authoritative servers do not have your IP subnet, but only the IP address of the CloudFlare resolver forwarding your query.

Aren't o-o.myaddr.l.google.com is intended for troubleshooting and should show correct ECS? o-o.myaddr.test.l.google.com always show correct ECS.

You can also use the decimal value of the IP, without the dots: https://16843009

You can also sing that number to the tune of the famous 8675309 song with very little robato.

I just upvoted you, bc (a) funny and (b) TIL a new word (rubato).

Here's how to use it with DNS-over-HTTPS on OS X / MacOS: brew install dnscrypt-proxy Change line 25 in /usr/local/etc/dnscrypt-proxy.toml to server_names = ['cloudflare'] sudo brew services restart dnscrypt-proxy Then change your DNS server to 127.0.0.1 (run Network pref panel, unlock, Advanced, DNS)

Thanks! That setup breaks everytime I'm behind a captive portal (hotel) .. any work around that except changing it manually and back?!

Unless you tell it not to, ping will try a reverse lookup on the IP you are pinging in order to display that to you in the output. It's a good idea to keep that in mind when you ping something, especially if you notice the first ping is abnormally slow.

That reverse lookup time is not counted in the first ping.

Perhaps that depends on operating system. In the 30 years I have been using ping on Linux, the reverse lookup time is absolutely included in the first ping time.

EDIT: Looks like this might be an issue w/ my AT&T-provided CPE, sorry! (more details at the bottom) From my vantage point, 1.1.1.1 is inaccessible, while 1.0.0.1 seems to work just fine. Comments on the blog post blame this on "various reasons" but, at least in my case, this seems to be a Cloudflare issue: $ ping -c 5 -q 1.0.0.1 PING 1.0.0.1 (1.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data. --- 1.0.0.1 ping statistics --- 5 packets t…

> When pinging 1.1.1.1 from my (pfSense-based) router sitting directly behind the modem, however, no replies come back from the modem to the router (confirmed via pcap on the upstream-facing interface).

Your upstream diagnosis seems to suggest otherwise, but perhaps you have an issue with using pfBlockerNG? If you're using pfSense with pfBlockerNG + DNSBL IP rules, it populates empty firewall alias files with 1.1.1.1 which was falsely assumed to be unused.

Review your aliases and pfBlockerNG alerts. If you see it dropped there, disable the firewall rule option on DNSBL, see screenshot [0]

Additional brief discussion on reddit [1] with comments from the pfBlockerNG author.

AFAIK the only data is domain name, record and the incoming ip. I don't care if they store the first two. Do you have any actual points against or are you just trying to nitpick? And do you have anything better?

> the only data is domain name, record and the incoming ip Other data that can be logged: - timestamp - this can be very revealing when correlated with other datasets.j - ASN - can sometimes act like fingerprint on it's own, and assists in correlating other data (e.g. the timestamp) - any identifiable variation in the structure or behavior between different DNS resolver implementations. See nmap's "-O" option that de…

Good answer. Thanks.

"... a crappy data sharing service." Do you mean OpenDNS?

No. I mean most businesses that are based on sharing data. They are low margin and not very interesting. I was thinking about businesses like Axicom when I wrote the comment. Have a ton of respect for David Ulevitch and the whole OpenDNS team. While OpenDNS started with an ad-supported business model, they've completely pivoted away from that. Now that they're part of Cisco, I believe their nearly exclusive revenue s…

What I meant was sharing not browsing data but DNS lookup data.

As always, too easy to be misunderstood in comments like these.

My AT&T fiber is blocking 1.1.1.1, too. But 1.0.0.1 is working.

Same, ATT Fiber in Charlotte NC

Which AT&T modem do you have? I'm seeing this w/ 5268AC, trying to find others that are affected as well.
