Which DNS servers should I use? #

Most customers use the default DNS settings. Our on-net anycast caching DNS servers and Quad9 hosted at CINX:

IPv4

• 102.135.240.1
• 9.9.9.9

IPv6

• 2c0f:ef18::1
• 2620:fe::9

You can also configure custom DNS servers. Popular options are:

• 1.1.1.1 Cloudflare / CPT
• 8.8.8.8 Google / JHB

We suggest Quad9 over Cloudflare because of the cached content at CINX (peering point in Cape Town). Some CDNs steer traffic based on where the DNS request comes from.
