I won’t give a whole course on DNS and network stuff, but basically it has zero effect on your download and upload speeds. DNS is like a phone book. You type Wikipedia.org and DNS translates that to an address like 200.92.36.68 When you download stuff, that’s not going through the Pi at all. So there’s no negative effects.
