Both the primary and the secondary going down is a killer. It's enough to make me switch out the secondary to a non-cloudflare DNS. Even when the secondary works the performance is pretty miserable. Adds about a 1s latency to each DNS resolution while it wait's for the primary to fail.

Yep. I quickly logged into my home Pi-hole and unchecked both IPv4 Cloudflare DNS servers.

So I just noticed that my mtr session that I started originally just changed paths and is now going to a different POP and now 1.1.1.1 is back up for me. No clue if the issue is fixed or they just sent a BGP update withdrawing the advertised route for 1.1.1.1 for the impacted POP.

Aside from this one issue, is switching to 1.1.1.1 a good idea in your guys experience? Right now I just realized I hvae the DNS for my ISP which is probably how they inject bullshit 404 pages full of ads. What is the fastest/best public DNS in your guys experience?

Cloudflare DNS is fastest public resolver by most benchmarks and I trust them with the traffic.

CloudFlare DNS (1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1) and Google's DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) usually have the best latency everywhere. However, if you suspect your ISP is injecting stuff, a VPN service + their DNS might be more useful to improve your internet privacy.

During this outage, my ping to 1.1.1.1 was 70ms. 8.8.8.8 is about 3ms.

After the outage, 1.1.1.1 is also about 3ms.

If you are worried about your ISP injecting/hijacking your DNS, then you should also use DNS over HTTPS.

Some ISPs I think hijack all DNS requests irrespective of the destination and point it to their own. Sky used to do this from what I read.

Setup DNSCryptProxy is my suggestion and let it pick the best/fastest/closest DNS over HTTPs resolver.
