    Simple DNS proxy with DoH, DoT, DoQ and DNSCrypt support

  • If it's on a desktop/laptop, you can run https://github.com/AdguardTeam/dnsproxy to forward into your NextDNS DoH/DoT/DoQ, and set your VPN network adapter to use 127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.2, ::1 and ::2 for DNS (the secondary entry either loopback or fail entirely, all it matters is your OS shouldn't try other address), that way since local traffic isn't routed by the VPN, you still get NextDNS (the actual DoH/DoT/DoQ traffic is still going through the VPN).
