> NextDNS is also further away, meaning there will be much more latency for all your DNS queries. It is usually best to run your own resolver, or have a local DNS server in your network.

But your local PI resolver would likely have to pass on your request to an upstream DNS server if it isn't cached. Although its negligible, this extra hop would add latency. This is assuming the result isn't in the OS or browser DNS cache.

I find that about half of my DNS requests hit the network cache and not upstream, which makes it worth it for me.

Your cache would work the same with NextDNS. I'm not sure to see your point.

yes but in pi-hole case my cache is in my local network, in nextdns case it is far away on the internet
