I should have said:              BULLSHIT! unencrypted UPD to your ISP is the fastest connection you can get.              TCP has 3 Way handshake + TLS negotioation + encryption overhead.              I you are on the other side of the planet than the DoH server it adds       extra time (Speed of Light limit! + delay on every routing hop)              It makes probably sense on public unencrypted WiFi..       but I don't use such shit.              ciao..              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
