Instant refresh will force low TTL on responses sent to clients so they rely
on CLI DNS cache. This will allow changes on your NextDNS config to be applied
on your LAN hosts without having to wait for their cache to expire.

Me being near Chandigarh , was always getting NextDNS Mumbai server . Finally resolved everything and using Secure DNS only - DOH or DOH3 or QUIC or TLS
Follwing are Delhi servers in every secure DNS format which are closest to me
quic://vultr-del-1.edge.nextdns.io:853/profileID
quic://anexia-del-1.edge.nextdns.io:853/profileID
tls://vultr-del-1.edge.nextdns.io:853/profileID
tls://anexia-del-1.edge.nextdns.io:853/profileID
h3://anycast1.dns.nextdns.io/profileID

Above are in my Adguard Home

test.nextdns.io - show your current configuration
ping.nextdns.io - show current ping of NextDNS pop's next to you
dns.nextdns.io/info - show closest NextDNS ultralow pop next to you
router.nextdns.io - show closest NextDNS ultralow pop and it's IP andress
router.nextdns.io/?limit=10&stack=dual - show ip of NextDNS pop's next to you
Use the above to check your closest DNS servers

if you are running adguardhome, why not use unbound?
It kept on giving errors for IOT . Most always showed offline including Echo dot and Google Home . Its related to BLOCKLISTS but didnt have the time and effort to resolve individually
Both were in DOCKER . Now i run only ADGURD HOME in docker . I do have a STATIC IP also
Did run both for 5/6 years earlier but now blocklists have become more strict or they more intrusive
And i also have the issue of TENDA pinging home every second , which i have blocked in custom filtering
