Normally NextDNS Pro normally costs $30/year but by taking a quick trip to visit our Turkish friends, we can take that down to just under $11/year. It will auto renew at this price so you can set it and forget it.

NextDNS protects you from all kinds of security threats, blocks ads and trackers on websites and in apps and provides a safe and supervised Internet for kids — on all devices and on all networks.

It's essentially a pi-hole for those who don't want to or don't feel as if they have the skills to set one up. All you need to do is change your device to their DNS and you can setup custom dns level ad-blocking, neat for all those smart tvs and smart toaster you have that are calling home all the time.

You can use a free account which allows you to have 300,000 queries/month but if you use more than that (like I do), this is definitely worth it.

    Between this and adguard, which one is better?

      I like that NextDNS doesn't have as many limits. Adguard DNS Personal (their pro plan) has a max of 10M requests and 5 devices and 5 configurations whereas NextDNS has unlimited requests, unlimited devices and unlimited configurations.

      If you're NOT self hosting; the features are similar, and it comes down to if you wish to support a Moscow based business, or a USA based business.

      Its honestly easier to just pihole IMO, even if its in a tiny VM.

    Can you pay via PayPal?

    • jayk87 on 30/09/2022 - 08:27

      It let me but the payment has been processed yet…

    • AusRetro on 30/09/2022 - 08:29

      From their website:
      "All prices are in TRY. We accept cards, PayPal and cryptocurrencies."

        Beautiful. I'll try with my vpn. 😊👍🏾

        Odd considering PayPal isn't available in Turkey.

  • Tinqer on 30/09/2022 - 08:50

    Some VPNs have some adblocking features now, is that the same functionality as this?

    • PainToad on 30/09/2022 - 08:54

      Similar, without the VPN. Only DNS requests.

    • AusRetro on 30/09/2022 - 08:54

      It's the same principle but VPN adblocking is very general as it needs to suit all audiences and you can't customised what is being blocked. With this you can change what filters you are using to block the most unwanted traffic.

    • YeboMate on 04/10/2022 - 03:51

      Not entirely… VPNs are where you actually connect to that network (hence VPN, virtual private network) and then that network then routes your request to the destination.

      DNS is just a service which your device uses to figure out the IP addresses of URLs. So if you put in ‘www.Facebook.com’, your device will first go to the DNS and ask what the IP is for Facebook.com and then the DNS will return something like 83.52.73.2. Then your device takes that IP and sends its package to so your connection is still directly with the website and you don’t have any thing in between facilitating the connection. The way DNS block ads is that it will have a list of URLs or IP addresses that’s ‘blacklisted’ and so when your device uses that DNS for a request, the DNS will be like… ‘ahh that’s an IP for an ad company… I’ll block it by telling your device this URL or IP does not exist’ then your device will get nothing back which results in the ad being blocked.

      Now I may not be 100% technically correct but that’s the gist of my understanding.

      tl;dr: VPN-based ad block is slower than DNS-based ad blocking

      This isn't a VPN. So no.

    In general I like running my own DNS, either piHole or Adguard….
    The only issue is of course if it goes down (which it shouldn't but we live in the real world) it breaks the internet, in which cases two choices:
    1. Try to run another instance, but none of them support cloning or propagation
    a) Maybe try to use docker or Kubernetes to set availability within home docker network, e.g. raspberry pi and nuc etc
    2. Set the backup to google or 1.1.1.1 (not sure if it ALWAYS tries the primary dns first).

    OzB experience here?

    • Ibz on 30/09/2022 - 12:20

      I use pihole as primary and nextdns free tier as secondary for backup

      • AusRetro on 30/09/2022 - 23:17
        +1

        From what I understand, this isn't ideal. The device you're using doesn't necessarily use primary first and secondary if that fails. It could be random or round robin as well depending on the device.

        • Ibz on 02/10/2022 - 19:03

          I'm okay with that. I've found most devices seem to favour the pihole anyway, not sure why. But if they use nextdns, that's not a problem either. The difference between paid and free next dns is the 300k query limit per month. By splitting my queries over pihole and nextdns, I've never hit that limit

          • AusRetro on 02/10/2022 - 19:05

            @Ibz: Nice. If it works for you, sounds great!

        Apparently this works quite well, for anyone interested.

    • jumpypotato53 on 30/09/2022 - 18:25

      I prefer running my adguard instance than pinhole, it has so many more features.

    • jumpypotato53 on 30/09/2022 - 18:29

      Not all apps / systems we use will try the first and then the second if the first is not available. I know there are ways to force through a router to always go through your DNS server but yeah it's a problem when yours is not available. Make sure to put at least two DNS servers on your adguard or pihole instance.

    • YeboMate on 04/10/2022 - 03:54

      Not as ideal but maybe set your DNS per device instead of on the router which is network wide. This way, if Pi-Hole is down you can temporarily change your devices DNS so you still have internet connection. Saves you from going into router, reconfiguring and restarting router. Though again, not ideal… depending on your priorities.

  • Mitr on 30/09/2022 - 09:03

    I use NextDNS pro.. Its pretty good

    But have seen times where it times out.
    do set it as primary DNS and Cloudflare/QuadDNS are secondary.

  • sun sunny on 30/09/2022 - 09:12

    What's the difference between this and adguard's free dns: https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html

    Adguard link says its free to use and doesn't mention about limits.

    • AusRetro on 30/09/2022 - 09:28

      NextDNS you can configure to your liking. Adguard public is either non-blocking or ad-blocking with no way to configure what is being blocked or allowed.

      DNS rewrites are a neat bonus too. Being able to set myserver.lan to redirect to one of my local machine is handy.

  • Groovyuvi on 30/09/2022 - 09:17

    Does this block Facebook ads too? Like on mobile devices connected to the same network?

  • theguyrules on 30/09/2022 - 11:55

  • illogicalerror on 30/09/2022 - 12:41

    For $11 a year it would be worth it to have an up to date DNS blacklist administrated by someone else.

    • silenthillrocks on 30/09/2022 - 15:12

      Quaddns has blacklist for free
      Also adguard-dns

        But will they load the updates on my server and reboot it if it locks up or crashes?

        I ran pihole for a few months, but was just too many support calls for me at home. I'm a sysadmin by day, I don't want to be by night as well.

  • fifoo on 30/09/2022 - 14:35

      Yes, you can do that. Remove your current subscription, that will stay until the date you've paid till. Then connect to your VPN and resubscribe.

  • silenthillrocks on 30/09/2022 - 15:05

    Is it good idea to pay for dns if it means they can more easily identify you?

      This isn’t for privacy.

  • PainToad on 30/09/2022 - 21:52

    People using this, are you concerned that if someone gets into your account they could set a DNS redirect you don’t know about?

    • AusRetro on 30/09/2022 - 22:02

      Use good hygiene by having unique password and 2FA. It's a stretch but you could say the same thing about Google, Cloudflare or your ISP who definitely messes with your DNS.

      • PainToad on 30/09/2022 - 22:13

        Sure. But at the end of the day your relying on the security of their systems too.

        As for Google, Cloudflare, ISPs DNS etc. they don’t have a config UI exposed to the internet. Much much larger attack vector, basically going from non-existent to who knows how big.

        • AusRetro on 30/09/2022 - 22:53
          +2

          Fair enough. I don't personally see that as part of my threat model so I don't mind that it is the config portal is front facing. Having that behind 2fa is enough for me to be comfortable.

  • PeeDee on 10/10/2022 - 11:41

    The biggest drawback is that it blocks wifi places that are secured like your company or school, and some contents in apps are blocked that shouldn't be blocked

    • Chippy47 on 12/10/2022 - 01:06

      Just use OSID as the blocklist within NextDNS, it blocks the majority of ads and trackers and is extremely rare to get false positives.

      • PeeDee on 12/10/2022 - 09:42

        is that a plugin for NextDNS?

        • Chippy47 on 12/10/2022 - 10:27

          It’s one of the blocklists you can select from the configuration profile on the website.

          • PeeDee on 15/10/2022 - 16:12

            @Chippy47: Is that only offered to premium members? I don't see it.
