Just to add, they also did a lot of work recently to get NextDNS to play nicely with iCloud Private Relay.
People in the privacy community have got to stop expecting free stuff. It costs a lot of money to run services like NextDNS or Proton. The people running them deserve to be paid for their work.
I’d like to add that pihole can be combined with cloudflared or DNSCrypt to provide DoH. DNSCrypt has the added advantage of a whole host of other DNS options, including ODoH and using the Tor network. These can be run locally or in a server.
So, i use nextdns and i have not seen any other service that compares to it based on my usage.
I have a home router that its configured on and it captures all traffic in my home, it could capture and secure the network based on the subnet the device belongs and with it, i control what the kids do and what can be done on my guest network while parents network is clean and IoT network piped down.
Correct me if i am wrong, no other service can do this with my ubiquiti network os
I was on free and after testinf, i moved to a payment option and i am on the third year. You cannot get it wrong with them on their paid option… its the best option for the money.
What you can do is to share it with a friend
Check Control D and Adguard
NextDNS, and ControlD, and Adguard Private DNS are all fairly comparable services each has its own small pros/cons over the others.
Self-hosted options also exist like Adguard Home or Pi-Hole.
Glad you got it sorted
