But also if you want check the real latency.
To check how close nodes are to you, you need to use a tcp ping program, since some of the nodes you can't use a standard ping.
On windows, check here for psping that will do a tcp ping: Microsoft psping
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/pspinge.g. psping -4 -n 10 de.ckpool.org:3333
psping -4 -n 10 solo.ckpool.org:3333
Yes
stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333
stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333#xnsub
Any of this must work.
And this is correct for european miners, right?
stratum+tcp://de.ckpool.org:3333
