[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 988207, member: 83059"] This was why I was confused. NextDNS as far as I can tell is strictly a DNS provider. It upgrades all of your DNS to DoH (so encrypted host lookups) but it doesn't encrypt anything else in transit like a full on VPN. IMO the value of encrypted DNS lookups is low unless you're really concerned about a DNS server spoofing back the wrong response.The security aspect of NextDNS is that it blocks "bad" hostnames the way that a PiHole does for a home network or the good old days of modifying your Hosts file.
