Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fastest DNS server in Zambia?
The fastest DNS server depends on your ISP and location within Zambia. Local ISP DNS servers often have the lowest latency, but global anycast providers like Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) and Google (8.8.8.8) are competitive due to nearby points of presence. Run a benchmark from your location to find the best option.
Does changing DNS reduce gaming ping in Zambia?
Changing DNS does not directly reduce in-game ping, since game traffic uses IP addresses after the initial DNS lookup. However, faster DNS resolution improves matchmaking speed, reduces connection timeouts, and speeds up game updates. The difference is most noticeable during initial connections.
Should I use local or global DNS servers for gaming in Zambia?
Both have advantages. Local servers in Zambia may resolve regional domains faster, while global anycast providers like Cloudflare have edge servers nearby and offer higher reliability. For gaming, reliability matters most — a server that drops queries causes connection failures.
