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?

Does it actually block thepiratebay, yts, 1337x? Lots of European DNS servers do.

Could you test this? It wukd bring fact to the conversation instead of just doubt and workload.
