Hey gang, I'm considering using DNS4EU in Canada. My ping to their servers is ~130ms. That's way longer than anything local which is on the order of 1-5ms. Apart from resolving uncached entries taking longer, is there any contraindication to using a DNS server with high latency?

If you’re using a government run DNS, why not use the CIRA ones instead? https://www.cira.ca/en/canadian-shield/

I'm currently trying that but the proposed information sharing changes with the US in Bill ~~C-5~~C-2 change the calculus. I'm sure part of the push comes from the American copyright lobby.

Fellow Canadian here, this has completely been off my radar. A quick search brings for Bill C-5 brings up the removal of trade barriers and tax cuts.

Can you point me to where the copyright nonsense is in the bill?

Sorry, C-2. 😄 It's got some Patriot Act-y stuff in it. Look up coverage on it.
