Dns geo ussue

[onlinerussianrider46]

What is the name of the domain?

all

What is the error number?

What is the error message?

What is the issue you’re encountering

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Changed DNS to all that are free available

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

I don’t know

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

The server is in Vienna and DNS should also be Vienna, but it defines it as the Netherlands. The rest as Germany. Changing the IP is not an option. I would like to make it so that DNS goes only through Vienna

The IP address may resolve to show they are registered in the Netherlands, but that doesn’t mean traffic isn’t being served from there. Take a look here to see why the Cloudflare datacenter you are routed towards isn’t always the closest geographically: https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/learning/cdn/glossary/anycast-network/

Hi, interesting information, I didn’t know about it. But I still need DNS either in Frankfurt or Vienna. Because through the Netherlands the ping is a bit too high. So it is impossible to change this so that DNS goes through another one?

But I still need DNS either in Frankfurt or Vienna.

In that case, the only potential resolution might (unfortunately) end up on being to avoid 1.1.1.1.

It would require assistance from your ISP to be able to change that.

Can you please share the AS number of the ISP / provider, where are you seeing this?

The AS number can be found here:

• https://1.1.1.1/help
  → AS Number
• https://bgp.tools/
  → The AS number shown under “You are connecting from” like this: “Cloudflare, Inc. (AS13335)”
• https://bgp.he.net/
  → The AS number shown like this: “Your ISP is AS13335 (Cloudflare, Inc.)”
