    Right, I understand all that but I still can’t figure out why DNS is going to a 14 Eyes country instead of staying in Switzerland.

      If it was a simple geoip lookup that isn’t really reliable wrt anycast addresses (or even addresses in general).

      9.9.9.9 for example gets reported as Berkely, CA (US). Which is only partially accurate, for complicated business holding and ASN reasons, but is not representative of what DNS PoP you’re actually using at any given time.

        That’s true and that all makes sense. I guess I kind of forget because generally the IP address is physically very near to where I’m testing from.

        I just switched to a Swiss DNS resolver regardless. I like Quad9’s malware blocking but it’s more important to me to keep the DNS server in Switzerland (despite it needing to query outside the country regardless).
