    NextDNS gives you a whole bunch of 3rd party filters, maintained by random dudes in Github repos as a hobby. We support some of them too in the "3rd party filters" tab, however we don't encourage anyone to actually use them, as we have our own Native filters, that we've built up over the course of 5 years based on feedback for millions of Windscribe (our sister company) users. Our native filters are highly effective, and prone to much fewer false positives. We recommend you try them, you will be pleasantly surprised with how they perform. I guarantee you that you will spend 90% less time making whitelist rules for false blocks... or your money back :) "Native tracking protection" filters are all part of the IoT Filter. NextDNS has the individual toggles, which enforce this small set of rules. Out IoT filter enforces all of them, as well as 10x more things.
