Howdy!

I tried UDP with both mods ('unknown-server-time-limit: 1128' &&=20
'delay-close: 1500').=C2=A0 Unfortunately, I experienced intermittent=20
resolution errors.

Am now using TCP...=C2=A0 no apparent errors, but resolution is SssLllOooWww,=
=20
just as before.
(total.recursion.time.avg=3D4.433958 total.recursion.time.median=3D3.65429=20
total.num.recursivereplies=3D1515)

Thank you for your efforts.=C2=A0 Latency on "HughesNot" is insurmountable,=20
but (barely) beats no connectivity.=C2=A0 I hope to try Starlink, if/when it =

becomes available for my latitude (30.9 North).
