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

Well, 1ms of latency is 300km of distance, so unless you have something really misconfigured or overloaded, or you're across the country, latency shouldn't be an issue. 10-20ms is normally the high water mark for most synchronous replication, so you can go a long way before a protocol like DNS becomes an issue.
