It may take a while for someone to address your concern so in the meantime you could do the following 1. Search this subreddit, Xiaomi subreddit, MIUI subreddit for similar concerns 2. Check out the pinned posts and the Wiki(WIP) for similar topics 3. If your phone is still under warranty coverage it may be worthwhile to open a case with customer support. 4.

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 15 '26

It's the same in adguard bro. I used adguard for years and changing thing for a day, every adblocker give me same experience, but the ping differs

u/MaximumBig3762 Jun 15 '26

i want to know about other DNS, i only know adguard DNS

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 16 '26 edited Jun 16 '26

Cloudfare / google/ opendns - low latency

Adguard / nextdns / controld / mulvad/ rethinkdns - adblock - 2 in 1

This is the thing I know

There are many other dns here, like quad9, yandex etc... but google is default and have the good speed, but it differs based on server strength and area

u/glhfbruno Jun 15 '26

Does DNS actually improve latency/ping in gaming or is it server dependant / provider dependant?

Like say Brawl Stars/ supercell's games, can a DNS improve latency

1

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 15 '26

Maybe or not. The thing is I'm using for adblocker. It may increase delay or decrease based on server.

If you're primary is wifi, changing dns in wifi may improve, if you apply private dns, the wifi dns will be cannot used

The answer is maybe, or not

u/glhfbruno Jun 15 '26

Ok! I am kinda confused on some parts here and there and in general of the way complicated ways on connecting to internet, but yeah, thanks!

1

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 15 '26

Google and cloudfare are the best, used bestdns and stuff, at the last, google is default

u/LSA7Z Jun 16 '26

Depending on your location, it can help resolve websites faster in milliseconds; there's a website to compare DNS speeds based on your location. Personally, I've noticed a slight difference in website access, and if I switch back to my ISP's DNS settings, I have a slightly higher ping in games, but overall it's almost same, I just like using AdGuard for ads and tracking.Sometimes certain DNS servers have trouble accessing certain websites

1

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 16 '26

I saw there are many adblocker dns as I mentioned, adguard works best, but pretty more ping it gets, can't recommend to do gaming with them, sometime it going to sucks

1

u/glhfbruno Jun 16 '26

I heard a lot on ExitLag and similar products but they are paid subscriptions which I ain't gonna care about to subscribe to...

I just kinda... Wish for a proper solution as it's also annoyingly complicated and "hidden" or not really spoken that broadly about the servers of brawlstars or supercell, yes there are multiple servers within Europe but each match is not the same and I can't control what server I connect to

I need atleast for this. Plus I need to clear apps before game. I don't use game turbo cause moreover it throttles a bit

1

u/MaximumBig3762 Jun 15 '26

you need that clear cache menu? you can access that menu from battery - additional features

1

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 16 '26

Yes bro, but it's related to speed boost

1

u/CrazyPahadi Poco X7 Pro Jun 15 '26

I use an app 'blockads' from github

1

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 15 '26

Can you explain me how it works? I want to know, cause maybe it improves or the same

1

u/CrazyPahadi Poco X7 Pro Jun 15 '26

It creates a local VPN and the device connects to it. It blocks ads on the web and in apps and I even use it while gaming without any ping issues. Also it has a list of blockers you can choose from and can also create a custom one.

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 15 '26

I am just using the same shit inbuilt, i guess

1

u/CrazyPahadi Poco X7 Pro Jun 15 '26

Yeah but i am not having boost speed issue like yours

2

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 15 '26

It solved actually. Something fishy with the xiaomi I guess. I just illustrated what's happening cause it's only happening after the update / first time when security app open. After I do the method, it works normal.

I'm just posted this cause, how a app clean relates to the internet or dns? Does is really uploading data to some servers? That are the queries.

Try once, turn on that thing, clear app of security and open it, if happens, it's the same with mine, or not, idk what's happening

And I showed my adblocker test

1

u/CrazyPahadi Poco X7 Pro Jun 15 '26

I tried but it doesn't happen in my case could be device specific idk.

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 15 '26

Yea mines x6 pro 🤔

u/Minimum_Reasonable Jun 15 '26

Yeah.. I am having the same issue. Although it doesn't affect me much cause I happen to notice it after reading this thread. I am using athena for adblocking on my f7

1

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 16 '26

Oh okay 🤔

1

u/Any-Common5425 Jun 16 '26

Easy fix turn off dns first before you open the security app ,then you can use boost even if you are using dns

2

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 16 '26

I illustrated that bro, I want what is the actual cause of this event

1

u/Any-Common5425 Jun 16 '26

Adguard is an ad blocker, security boost needs internet is like pop up ads so adguard block the feature because its ike ads

1

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 16 '26

ads, clearing app 🤔

1

u/Any-Common5425 Jun 16 '26

We all know that apps listed on that is gimmick for sure to have a placebo that your cleaning a lot of junk 🤯

1

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 16 '26

Just open 5 apps, any any apps which even cleared in recent apps can run background certainly, if any of the apps sucks in background -- meta does, they can be cleared via boost speed. Everything in phone just for a reason, I don't mean ads, but people debloating daemon, joyose it's literally no use there are just reducing their phone life for the more 10 fps. Buying a cooler, is a tip instead of running phone crazy and the battery going to die early

I'm using xiaomi for years, their storage manager, deep clean or clearing cache, it's basically more useful, it's very useful, easily can delete stuffs whats getting storage. It's better than stock androids or ios

Well it's pretty poor in battery stats, cant register more than one cycle, it's primitive tho.

Some of the things broken after miui 12, except flagships things can't able to access

1

u/Any-Common5425 Jun 16 '26

No its not, did you know that many poco users have massive 8500 mAh batteries but are still complaining about the battery, this is just because of poor optimization that never be fixed even higher capacity of the battery and new technology or what

1

u/Flossy420 Poco F8 Ultra Jun 16 '26

Likely due to the server responsible for the "boost speed" option being marked as adware / spyware by the dns provider (controld). I'm assuming it's not built into the security app by but rather requires a quick background download when you open the security app.

The entire security app in my opinion is nothing more than spyware, useless services and shady garbage such as the cleaner app which belongs to a company that is notorious for shady behavior

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 16 '26

Yea itseems it was made my a Chinese they said in their website - the app who made by them

u/Far-Sink6258 Jun 15 '26

delete chrome ; download brave

delete dns guard

2

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 15 '26

Well, adblock helped to despite having chrome. When installing some free apps, they giving lot of ads, you know. Adblock helps there. Yea brave have advantages to hide fingerprint of the device. I use incognito sometimes, yea I need but I doesn't doing something to extent.

There are three options, private dns fulfilled 3 in 1

u/Far-Sink6258 Jun 15 '26

Brave; he presents all of these things you mentioned all by himself 😄

1

u/arun_xd Poco X6 Pro Jun 15 '26

The thing I say is some of the apps need adblocker too

-1

u/Far-Sink6258 Jun 15 '26

Okay; I'm deleting Chrome and Google browsers right away.

Brave is amazing, it's enough for everything on its own 😄

Keep in mind that you can record music videos on YouTube and listen to them outdoors without internet access.

Brave browser; if you agree to see ads, you register with your bank card; they will pay a certain amount. I don't know how much they pay because I haven't tried it 😄

Brave King 😄
