Sadly yes as iCloud Private Relay prevents NextDNS from filtering on Safari. So it can only block In-App-Ads on my device..

- removed NextDNS profile

My new Firewalla device can block ads and malicious domains network-wide, NextDNS is only needed for my Desktop Browsers as I barely surf on my phone anyway.

- upgraded to iOS 16 and enabled the new Lockdown-Mode on iOS

It reduces the attack surfaces and makes it harder for attackers. But, is your phone still functional?

Well it's working alright I guess. You can add exclusions for apps and websites. Still, I am not so sure if I should keep it activated. Will see if I can get used to it.

Thanks for sharing but I got all the infos while enabling Lockdown Mode. I mainly wanted to try it because of the Safari restrictions and how it affects day to day browsing. So far it’s working alright I guess. But I’m pretty sure that I disable it within the next few days.
