I was getting bored really in home quarantine ( of 7 days, cause i travelled to a containment zone), nothing to do except watching netflix. Then just by coincidence,I Saw a video on youtube about DDOS attacks and mitigation strategies. I enable some syn attack and ddos preventing rules on my Mikrotik Hap Ac router and i got an itch to test my rules. I searched for DDOS simulated attack and found a website (Shield Test - Free comprehensive security test) which simulates ddos attack on your ip address. They provides some other tests too. Then while testing, on the second test (ddos test)it just stopped abruptly saying " the entire domain is getting blocked" and test terminated itself ( image 1). I thought it was my router blocking the test, but there was no logs registered in my router. Then i switched off nextdns doh and enabled google dns doh ( by adguard ). To my surprise the test went on without any hiccups ( image 2). So Nextdns was blocking ddos attack from this website. Try it for yourself just for fun.
