If you want to figure out what the fastest DNS server is for you, I suggest this freeware utility https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

Namebench hasn't been updated since 2010, but I just checked and it's running fine on my Sierra box.

This will run fine under Wine on macOS. Steve has said many times on the SN podcast that he tests under Wine to ensure compatibility.

It should still save the results, check your console and open the .html file

To the downvoters: perhaps a source will placate you: https://www.grc.com/sn/sn-641.htm (search for WINE). I apologize for providing facts that might help someone that wants to run this.
