dnsforge.de frequently unreliable on my android? (lemmy.world)

Hiya! I've been using for dnsforge.de as my private DNS on my android phone for a year or so, and I've noticed about once a day my phone tells me that the dns can't be reached, and about once a week I can't access something on my phone without turning off the private dns.

Is this normal? I am in the US and I know they're in Germany, but I wondered if this happens to everyone or if something is going on with my phone, and if there are other good options?

Thanks!

I'm guessing that because both ISPs are reporting it at the same time, this must be on dnsforge's end or at least some network problem between my locale and germany, yeah?
