Feature request: Show DNS resolver latencies #863

Open e-t-l opened 3 years ago

e-t-l commented 3 years ago

In the Choose DNS activity, it would be very helpful to have an option to to speed-test the listed DNS resolvers. Latencies could be listed (in milliseconds) next to each resolver name, possibly with an icon to show relatively "good" vs "bad" speeds (e.g. wifi bars or green-orange-red color coding).

I'm happy to try to contribute this code, but I'm a fairly inexperienced programmer and have zero experience with the languages Blokada uses. I do know Nebulo is a similar adblocking DoH VPN app that has this exact feature in their DNS resolver selection activity, so maybe we can use some of that code?
