Hi guys for those of you that use pi-hole (or similar solutions like adguard home, etc) and wireguard how far away can you be from your wireguard/pi-hole server before latency becomes a major issue?

Also on a side note how many milliseconds of latency would you guys consider to be to slow?

Edit I meant dns latency sorry for not mentioning

DNS is only used initially on first load, after that the connection is made via IP and DNS isn’t used.

Yes, but if you hit a company doing DNS based load balancing, DNS is going to return an IP that’s near to your DNS server which may not be near your device. That’s going to add to the latency.

Yeh but assuming you are in the approximate same geo as you pihole it should be the same now if you deploy your pihole across continents then i would say you should really reconsider your decision.
