[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 92963, post: 959023"] Good tip As far as I know (but please correct me when I am wrong) the DNS settings of the end devices override DNS settings of the router if no further measures are taken to prevent end devices or end users to use their own DNS settings. So you could setup Next DNS in the router with Privacy (ad blocking enabled). Your mobile phones probably use the default internet gateway of your mobile network operator and you can easily assign another Next DNS configuration (ad blocking disabled) on the PC's of your household. Until now NextDNS does not require a confirmation when you sign up, so you can use a one-time-use email or an alias to have more NextDNs configurations (also an easy way to circumvent the 300.000 free DNS resolves per month maximum). EDIT After some research I was able to change the DNS in my smart-TV box. When I setup the DNS on my PC in my wireless card adapter, my VPN service did connect, but I could not connect to the Internet.
