Ok so only seems i can save them to the router not to the extender.What testing tools can i use please to check whats the fastest.
Its speed is comparable to google and I trust them slightly more.
I was trying to find a test I used to run but it is proving difficult …
So heres something slightly different:
for domain in manjaro.org duckduckgo.com bbc.co.uk; do google_dns=$(dig @8.8.8.8 ${domain} | awk '/msec/{print $4}'); cloudflare_dns=$(dig @1.1.1.1 ${domain} | awk '/msec/{print $4}'); printf "${domain}\tCloudFlare DNS ${cloudflare_dns}ms\tGoogle DNS ${google_dns}ms\n"; done
It should rank the two for you against our site and two other common ones.
(oops…I just realized above I said “OpenDNS” when I meant Cloudflare. )
Missed some of my message .im confused what you mean about for domain .
Im setting this on my pc we have 2 other laptops on the same router do i have to change all the dns settings on each laptop ?
When you hover your mouse over the code he posted there will be an paper icon in it’s top right.
Click that to copy it to your clipboard, next paste it in a terminal and press enter to execute it…
On each machine you want to use different DNS’s on, you need to manually set those that were the fastest.
Because it’s a local override of the DNS setting per machine…
In my case i see this:
> for domain in manjaro.org duckduckgo.com bbc.co.uk; do google_dns=$(dig @8.8.8.8 ${domain} | awk '/msec/{print $4}'); cloudflare_dns=$(dig @1.1.1.1 ${domain} | awk '/msec/{print $4}'); printf "${domain}\tCloudFlare DNS ${cloudflare_dns}ms\tGoogle DNS ${google_dns}ms\n"; done
manjaro.org CloudFlare DNS 63ms Google DNS 66ms
duckduckgo.com CloudFlare DNS 66ms Google DNS 39ms
bbc.co.uk CloudFlare DNS 66ms Google DNS 69ms
(In my personal setup i use my own DNS server on my own machine, so i don’t use either lol)
@TriMoon ohhhhhhhh ok cool thanks so please how do i paste it to the terminal. its ok i worked it out .right click and paste
Uhmm open a terminal and press CTRL+INS or CTRL+V…
$ for domain in manjaro.org duckduckgo.com bbc.co.uk
; do google_dns=$(dig @8.8.8.8 ${domain} | awk ‘/msec/{print $4}’); cloudflare_dns=$(dig @1.1.1.1
${domain} | awk ‘/msec/{print $4}’); printf “${domain}\tCloudFlare DNS ${cloudflare_dns}ms\tGoog
le DNS ${google_dns}ms\n”; done

dig
is provided by the bind
package.
Sorry for not mentioning it … I forget it not installed by default.
So just install bind
and run the command again.
(and darn … again me annoyed I dont have the old command … it was easier to expand and used little curl touches so no extra install needed)
dig ?bind huh
the command failed because you dont have the application dig
which is what queries the servers. the application is provided by the package bind
… if you install bind
and run the command again it will work.
Ohhhhhhh ok so can you provide the cmd please for bind or do i find it in AUR ?
Its just a package in the repos, install it like anything else.
(ex: pamac install bind
)
Please understand im a newb.i have no idea where a repo is sorry
It’s the place all your software of manjaro is coming from…
Just execute the command, that cscs just gave, in a terminal: pamac install bind
it will add the dig
and host
commands to your system…
ok thanks i know where that is cheers brb
its gone now but there was one bind installed im installing blind now.

- Always place ``` before and after (on separate lines) text that you paste from the terminal, so it will be formatted correctly.
- You must have made a mistake while copy/paste the code try again…
