Comment on Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry?

I don’t know much about much, I’ll admit that, but what I have experienced with DNS is that it keeps shitting the bed when I’m trying to connect to my bfs server in the USA while I live in Brazil. Some spectrum node in Miami or something keeps sending my ping to the moon and my packages go from 0% dropped to 100% when I use a program to trace the path (sadly can’t recall the name RN, hopefully when someone replies I’ll be by my PC again and check it)
I just wish I could tell my DNS “hey, don’t use that node specifically” because every other step is going just fine, but as I said before, I don’t know much at all so I don’t know if that’s possible or even if it’s a good idea

If you use a VPN there is a chance your connection will route differently.

I could try, but the only game this is causing issues is minecraft, and the server is mostly dead by now, so I don’t want to spend the money for just trying to see if it would help, but I’ll def look into it for the next time we play minecraft again
