Multiple DNS servers

[ignoramous]

• select multiple DNSCrypt upstreams
• select multiple DoH upstreams
• select multiple DNS Proxy upstream

For DNSCrypt, it is already possible to select any one of the multiple upstreams via ID DcProxy. Network engine impl for DohProxy and D53Proxy pending.

I keep getting apparent network issues every few days, and it always turns out to have been DNS, with a pause n unpause usually resolving it. The ability to easily set a fallback/timeout server would be very advantageous!

Have you changed any settings from the defaults in Configure -> Network?

That said, we've made a tonne of improvements in v054b which have fixed issued with the network engine.

Nope.

I see there is actually a fallback DNS option there, though it has limited options.

I switched to using Mullvad adblocking DoH very recently to get some stability, but I'll set the fallback to Rethink. I must have seen that before, but it's not in the DNS section.

The ability to manually specify (multiple) fallback servers would be nice, or set a few and have the app test which is quickest, say, every half day or day or such.

Thanks!

Think you're looking for "secondary" server (#811) which we decided against implementing because of UX complications).
