Quad9 DNS Service: 9.9.9.9

[varkey]

Can confirm that same behaviour as @eriek_halenx, right now I have a 59.92.xx.xx IP address and I cannot ping 9.9.9.9

@eriek_halenx @varkey I am not seeing this issue for the entirety of AS9829. Maybe the issue is to a subset of the network. Could you both share traceroute to 9.9.9.9 ?

@swapneelp Looks like it doesn't leave BSNL's network for some reason.

@varkey Thanks for sharing the traceroute. I can confirm, the issue is also present with AS55824 and AS4758. The lack of a looking glass at AS9829 makes it impossible to infer.

Since when Quad9 got an Indian server? Last time I used the nearest server was in Singapore.

Edit: They had a Bombay server earlier but it was only for peered ISPs.
Edit2: For a sec I thought I had DNS Leak but I tried few other DNS providers and they were working fine.

Quad9 has presence in Kolkata as well, IIFON DC in Kolkata has them as a peer, getting good latency to them with Alliance but not sure if should switch from Cloudflare.

 

[brambedkar59]

@HC1337 Their website only shows one location of server inside India which is at Bombay.

It's good that they have peered with more ISPs here in India. Wish they had peering with Excitel in Delhi.
Edit: I think I talked to Quad9 support last year about some routing issue (which turned out was a issue on my ISP's side), they were very helpful. That's when they said they are trying to increase presence in India.

 

[HC1337]

I will share the traceroute when I head back to my college, after a week to be precise.
I am certain IIFON dc in Kolkata was in the trace.

It has indian server in MUM now.
