- Encrypted DNS (DNS-over-HTTPS)

- Ideal routing (low DNS latency)

- Bypass DNS-level censorship (inside a country, from your hotel Internet provider, your school, etc.)

- Being able to identify your device in the logs (if you choose to)

- Hardened Privacy Mode (if you are into that)

Edit: this goes for all our apps (iOS/Android/macOS/Windows/Router client), not just macOS.



I literally (not figuratively) setup NextDNS yesterday and so far it's been great. The documentation is awesome, and love the features available. The only mild feedback I have is that the "Setup Guide" doesn't provide enough context about what's going on, and the implications of setting up on my PC vs mobile device vs router. It says:

"Follow the instructions below to set up NextDNS on your device, browser or router."

A couple more sentences there would be super helpful..


The Windows setup doesn't like Windows 10 on ARM, it couldn't install the TAL driver. Very edge case I guess, I'm going to install on x86 when I get home :)


That’s very helpful, thanks!
