Switzerland has done a 180 on that. A new amendment would require all VPN services, messaging apps, and social networks to identify and retain user data.
Quad9 is a Swiss org, but it operates at hundreds of PoPs inside many different countries (anywhere PCH has a presence), their addresses are anycast so it’ll use whatever the upstream routes/BGP dictate.
Both Quad9 and CloudFlare have the closest DNS for my network, at around 1ms RTT. However CloudFlare doesn’t support ECS, so I use the alternate Quad9 service that does, since it gives me better performance on a number of CDNs.

Also Quad9 is Swiss which may actually better than EU?

Not sure why would it be better. EU provides strict personal data regulations guarantees

Switzerland has pretty decent privacy laws of its own, why you think Swiss bank accounts are a meme?

This confuses the fuck out of me because my VPN in Switzerland using TLS DNS shows Germany as the country in DNS leak tests.
The Swiss DNS provider doesn’t have servers in Switzerland?

Right, I understand all that but I still can’t figure out why DNS is going to a 14 Eyes country instead of staying in Switzerland.
