[QUOTE="SerialCart, post: 1070834, member: 83401"] I completely understand your point, but the reason that many users and companies are using NextDNS is their custom profiles. Unfortunately at this moment (04.01.2024) Mullvad does not offer a service at the level of NextDNS. NextDNS allows you to fine-tune your internet access and also easily without any specific knowledge monitor your network. I really wish that Mullvad also offers a service like this. Mullvad comes with a bascis DNS blocking functionality and uBlock is only for your browser (obviously the best browser would be FireFox or LibreWolf based on FireFox for uBlock). But uBlock in any case does not protect your whole network. With NextDNS you can set your personal DNS settings in your router and apply your firewall for all devices which connect to your network. Of course some one case say what about Piehole ? PieHole is great but again very limited. If you have a high speed internet it will reduce your speed (because of limited RasberryPie CPU and RAM) and also you won't be able to use it while you are on the go with your Mobile phone. With NextDNS you can set your DNS settings in your Mullvad VPN and apply your firewall even on the go. BUT! All in all you are making a comprimise by trusting NextDNS accessing your browsing data! Maybe if you are a Mullvad user, you can contact their support and ask them to develope a service like NextDNS. I have already done it :D [/QUOTE]
