nextdns VS blahdns

nextdns.io became top root domain after I installed nextDNS app on iPhone and MAC and wondering if this is known. Before when I only was using NextDNS cli on router I didn't have this issue

DNS blocking, if you aren’t technically astute try NextDNS

I use nextdns.

You can also install NextDNS on your router (if supported), which will let your router cache the requests, which may improve latency : https://github.com/nextdns/nextdns/wiki

I have setup NextDNS on my computer and I can recommend you to try it. It should filter a lot of microsoft trackers and you can try it and see in log on my.nextdns.io.

Hey, try a DNS alternative like NextDNS which allows you to block ads. Just go to https://nextdns.io and you can find steps there

Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, you can also load the blocklists directly onto your hosts. For example, hblock (https://github.com/hectorm/hblock) has a few scripts to format its blocklist for your platform. The StevenBlack list's github page has instructions for adding to a range of platforms and links to several hosts/blocklist managers (https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts). You can also point your router at an adblocking public DNS such as https://adguard-dns.com/en/public-dns.html (free) or https://nextdns.io/ (might cost). Lastly, depending on what router you run, you could load the host lists directly onto the router.

i dont recommend that, there is a better solution instead of pihole. use nextdns.io you can use it everywhere without worries

I personally use NextDNS, which supports DNSSEC on iOS, and gives me ad blocking no matter what network I’m connected to. That takes care of the DNS query logging.

Ah, yes, that might be it...I use custom DNS ( https://blahdns.com/ and https://dismail.de/info.html#dns ).

NetGuard is interesting because it sets up a local VPN and you can set it to block everything from internet access by default and then manually decide what needs internet. Though, it does conflict with Blokada because that is using a local VPN too and you can only use one at a time. You could replace Blokada with uBlock Origin in your browser (I go with Mull) and the Blah-DNS, which is filtering tracking and ads.

BlahDNS

Adguard is already a private one (im using the app and dns), but try https://blahdns.com/ for no logging.

On Android 9+ go to Settings > Network & Internet > Advanced > PrivateDNS > Provide a DNS provider hostname > enter dns.adguard.com or another adblocking DNS provider like BlahDNS

Looks like fairly well-rounded blocking (their sources). More about it here and their website also mentions they block CNAME cloaking.
