I've tried using the DNS listed in the page and they were very slow resolving new names (I'm in Spain).

DNS Benchmark (https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm) shows this results: https://ghostbin.com/paste/rr65w

Are they normal? Or are they slow because the servers are located in the US?

Servers are located in Amsterdam, Miami, Seattle and Singapore. Since the resolvers are new, there's a lot of global cache to fill up.

In addition, if you'd be willing to share, visit https://nstoro.com/api/v1/geolookup and shoot us the results to hello@tenta.com. That API will pull your IP and the physical location of the box you connected to. If that location isn't Amsterdam, then we'll need to take a look at our routing.

I've just tested the nameservers again and ICANN ones seem to be a lot faster than before. OpenNIC ones are down for me right now.
