[QUOTE="X195, post: 1093635, member: 103492"] Hi All, I currently have an OPNsense router which has the Adguard plugin installed. I have configured it also to use unbound DNS over TLS to Cloudflare and Quad9 upstream public DNS as per this guide: [URL="https://windgate.net/setup-adguard-home-opnsense-adblocker/"]How to setup AdGuard Home DNS on OPNsense with Unbound - windgate[/URL] [ATTACH type="full" width="450px"]284362[/ATTACH] [I]"In our setup, we will actually use two internal DNS server services. [B]The Adguard DNS[/B] requests will be forwarded to [B]Unbound[/B] which would act as a validating, recursive, and caching [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolver_(DNS)']DNS resolver[/URL] and will encrypt our traffic with DNSSEC"[/I] I have two questions: 1. When using this configuration, how should I set the DNS over HTTPS setting in my browser? I currently have is set to OFF (use your default DNS resolver). Does that sound correct or should I also enable DNS over HTTPS in the browser for additional security ? [ATTACH type="full" width="389px"]284363[/ATTACH] 2. Is there any benefit to using NextDNS as my upstream public DNS rather than Quad9 / Cloudflare (as per the guide) that I am currently using? I know that with NextDNS you can login to an interface where there are options to filter specific types of content and various other configuration / security / privacy settings, whereas I don't think an interface with customisable configuration settings are available with Cloudflare / Quad9 ?
