What I'm looking for?

Looking for minimum feedback.

Im pretty sure i will pass that 300k easily. Runescape somehow making so much queries its pretty much gonna be paid nextDNS for me whenever cap is full. Or find some other solution.

Is there any other way to block newly registered domains? Adguard dns has this feature, but i wish they would add it to adguard itself.

ps. my computer is pretty much online like 15 hours a day


edit: did config changes 17.1.2026

+ Microsoft defender with DefenderUI
+ Microsoft edge with bitwarden + norton safe web
+ Adguard for windows as adblocker
+ Adguard DNS - NRD - blocked, hagezi pro list + most abused TLDS list enabled.

I have 3 years of adguard dns left, and in 3 years it matures, since their DNS is still newish. After 3 years i probably can still grab 5 year license for 30$, but i might do that before

I decided to stop using those limited query accounts; you want to offer free tier, limit the options, not the query number.

I disable DNR (too many FP), so using ControlD with Hagezi list offer almost the same protection by NextDNS, except for DNS rebinding (which does not pass ControlD test, only the DNS rebinding list by Hagezi of AG pass).

Do you use Cache Boost? I do not and I hardly hit 200k on PC and 50k on mobile.
I use a separate email for each for easy management, each email gives you 300k. 🤫
I use 3 aliases for the same email account, I get 900 K per month; just replacing the DoH address in the browser.
Still I do not prefer a limited query account; limited features would be more convenient.
 
Hmm i have ditched NextDNS for now, i have given it many times but free tier isnt option for me. Adguard DNS it is for now
Adguard just missing some basic features like , custom blocking screen etc. like cloudflare has, or default nextDNS
 
The problem with adguard dns is that it routes dns throught sweden, even im living at finland. So its either nextDNS or cloudflare malware blocking dns for me and im going with the second one

Anyway i did clean install after trying zonealarm once again.

Now im using
+ kaspersky premium on default settings
+ adguard with hagezi pro ( recommended list) + Cloudflare malware blocking dns
+ Firefox with bitwarden

- disabled SAC as it interfers with the armoury crate app

Anyways im going to stick this for now on main pc, on laptop i probably keep trying new stuff, but im planning to use kaspersky premium for now as it has served me well past years. Sorry for spam in security setup changes, but :confused:
