Using default DNS like 8.8.8.8 from a country far away (or blocked/throttled by ISPs) adds 150–300ms per query.
By implementing a split DNS strategy and encrypting your remote queries with DoH, you can completely eliminate DNS bottlenecks and enjoy the full speed of your V2Ray network.
Another critical factor is DNS poisoning and interference. In restricted network environments, ISPs often hijack or throttle standard DNS queries. If V2Ray is not configured to use encrypted protocols like DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) or DNS-over-TLS (DoT), the local network may interfere with the resolution process, leading to timeouts or redirected traffic. This struggle between the local censorship and the proxy's attempt to find a clean path often results in "hanging" connections, where a page takes several seconds to begin loading.

Advanced Tweaks to Supercharge V2Ray DNS
Instead of relying on public resolvers, run a local DNS cache on your VPS using dnsmasq or unbound . This reduces latency to near zero after the first query. v2ray slow dns server
An optimized DNS block will not work efficiently if your V2Ray routing rules conflict with it. Ensure your routing rules use the IPOnDemand or IPIfNonMatch strategy.

For real-time applications like online gaming or video conferencing, DNS delays can manifest as jitter and connection instability. Each new connection—such as connecting to a game server or establishing a WebRTC stream—requires DNS resolution, and slow lookups directly impact responsiveness.
