A smart person will try to change the dns on the router settings but if the
router is locked out on that option, then you have to change on your
computer. In the other hand I use OpenNic to search for the closer geographic
location https://servers.opennicproject.org/
example: for my world location I will use either Singapore, honk Kong or
japan.
I will start pinging the dns from your location to study the latency then I
will start using tracer to study how many hops from your computer to the
final destination. For example if you ping with a latency of 57ms or 150ms is
a very close. but if your latency is lower in 200 ms or higher then you are
too far away. I always using opennic servers.
There is Ways to change your dns on your adsl. It works for me.
1- How to configure a PPPoE internet connection on a Debian box
Assuming your computer has a direct connection (with no router between it and
the DSL modem), the configuration is pretty straightforward.
Here’s the tutorial for beginners:
Login and elevate your permissions to ‘super user':
su
Make sure the resolvconf package is installed:
apt-get install resolvconf
Create the directory /usr/etc/ppp:
mkdir -p /usr/etc/ppp
Open your favorite editor (I’m using vi/vim here, so some commands are
specific to that editor, like ‘vi’ to use the editor and ‘ :wq’ to
write and close. Edit; You may find the Nano editor easier to use), create a
new file and enter as many OpenNIC nameserver IPs as you like in, your
nearest ones are here.
vi /usr/etc/ppp/resolv.conf.opennic
Enter the following: (The IPs shown here are German, you would probably want
the nearest servers to you).
nameserver 78.138.97.33
nameserver 178.63.26.172
nameserver 2a00:e10:1000:10:1586:0:33:53
rotate
Write and save the file
:wq
Note: The “rotate” option helps dividing the requests between the
nameservers listed.
Create the following little script:
vi /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/zzz_opennic_resolvconf
#!/bin/sh
# some providers insist on the 'usepeerdns' option, hence
# we reinitialize the resolver to opennic servers after
# all is done. this hook script will be run automatically by
# pppd after it successfully established a connection.
set -e
# before we start: if anything went wrong with pppd, the $PPP...
# variables will not exist.
test -n "$PPP_IFACE" || exit 0
# Logging: use /var/log/ppp-ipupdown.log if it exists (then it is open
# for writing, see ../ip-up). Else use syslog:
blather () {
local whereto
if [ -e /var/log/ppp-ipupdown.log ]; then
whereto="echo $0: $@"
else
whereto="logger -i -t $0 $@"
fi
eval $whereto
}
SYSTEM_RCONF="/etc/ppp/resolv.conf"
# the file we just created:
LOCAL_RCONF="/usr/etc/ppp/resolv.conf.opennic"
test -f $SYSTEM_RCONF || { blather "$SYSTEM_RCONF does not exist. Exiting.";
exit 0; }
test -f $LOCAL_RCONF || { blather "$LOCAL_RCONF does not exist. Exiting.";
exit 0; }
cat $LOCAL_RCONF | /sbin/resolvconf -a $PPP_IFACE
cp $LOCAL_RCONF $SYSTEM_RCONF
blather "Resolver configured for OpenNIC namespace."
Write and save the file
:wq
Make the script executable
chmod 0755 /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/zzz_opennic_resolvconf
Restart your network:
/etc/init.d/networking restart
And that’s it!
Enjoy!
