nextdns VS blokada

You may try something like Blokada (https://blokada.org) or NextDNS (https://nextdns.io/)

PiHole will do this for your entire network. There's also NextDNS if you'd rather use a cloud service (easier setup). Once you start using a network wide DNS blocker you'll never want to go back.

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.

You may try something like Blokada (https://blokada.org) or NextDNS (https://nextdns.io/)

Try downloading a VPN. I use blokada to block the ads vanced doesnt catch.

To add to that, use a dns blocker app like Blokada or AdGuard. set up one of these apps on your child device (or your device) with extensive hosts lists to block ads, pop-ups, porn sites, phishing...etc. you can find host lists on any app of them or get one from here

If you're on an iPhone, or Android I recommend installing Blokada, it will cut down on ads both in the browser as well as in apps due to it being an alternate DNS resolver.

Try a system wide adblocker like Blokada or AdAway

After struggling for a while to figure out why my phone (Android / Pixel 4A 5G) could no longer connect to my Z50 with SnapBridge, I realized that Blokada was breaking it. I could connect to the wifi, but then the app would say there was an error connecting.

You could use https://github.com/blokadaorg/blokada / https://blokada.org/ (also on F-Droid). It does have at least Russian origin as far as I understood but - it's open-source and have same basic functionality as adguard.
