Question Is NextDNS still inferior to Quad9 for Security?

[Templarware]

Os NextDNS still inferior to Quad9 for security?

Yes when you are using the free version without an account. No when you provide an email address.

The author of above video mentions some privacy concerns in regard to creating an account with NextDNS, but ....

You don't need a real email address to use the FREE service with an account and privacy policy of NextDNS looks quite decent: Privacy Policy - NextDNS

Spoiler: You can choose to store the logs in US, EU or Switserland

Spoiler: You can also disable logging op IP address and resolved domains

Spoiler: With above settings you will still be able to see the aggregated stats

The author of above video mentions some privacy concerns in regard to creating an account with NextDNS,

Every DNS out there logs data, even no-log like Quad9 or Cloudflare, because of DDoS protection and they mention it in their Privacy Policy. The only difference is, how fast they remove logs, some after 2 hours, some after a few days. It is like arguing whether you should have Google/MS account, if you do not, they will log your data, if you do, you can remove it at your discretion.

fwiw from US, I checked my quad9 with dnscheck.tools and Ed25519 algorithm gets x instead of green checkmark &
"Your DNS responses are authenticated, except when using newer DNSSEC algorithms"
I sent quad9 support an email. Other dns servers get all green checkmarks.

It's a configuration issue not a DNS issue
Follow their guides to configure it correctly I'm using quad9 and it works perfectly and has better ping then google , cloudflare in my location

I meant that quad9 gives me better ping (lower latency)and it obviously depends on location

the answer to my Quad9 Ed25519 issue is (according to support) I was using 9.9.9.11 as the little I read said "threat protection" or more threat protection? But 9.9.9.11 does NOT support Ed25519 but 9.9.9.9 does, so I tweaked and now all green checkmarks to (or again).

I'm using brave on windows without issues
Maybe report it to brave

So indeed you have used a non default config of the DNS
