As Lenny_Fox request a NextDNS guide with pictures, here we go - based on Your NextDNS settings thread.
First, info about NextDNS can be read at: official Website & GitHub
I use and recommend using their service in easiest way you can implement. For me that is on router level so i don't need any software on Clients.

Setup Webinterface:

The red marked is the one i use in my Fritzbox router DNS settings. Also you should add both DNSv4 from right side ("DNS Servers") and DNSv6 from left side ("IPv6") into your router if for some reason the encrypted DNS has problems.
If that's done, take a look at top and if "All good!" is listed, your setup is finished!
Now we will increase the setup to maximum protection
Security Webinterface:

Privacy Webinterface:

Parental Control Webinterface:

Denylist Webinterface:

Allowlist Webinterface:

Settings Webinterface:

Done!
Also don't forget to activate 2FA for your account!:

NextDNS web interface -> Setup:

The data marked in red are the ones I use in the DNS settings of my Fritzbox router.
Both DNSv4 from the right side ("DNS Servers") and DNSv6 from the left side ("IPv6") should be configured in the router if for some reason the encrypted DNS causes problems. This way you have a fallback.
Once this is done, the web interface should say "All good!" at the top and the basic setup is complete!
Now we will increase the whole thing to maximum protection:
NextDNS web interface -> Security:

NextDNS web interface -> Privacy:

NextDNS web interface -> Parental Control:

NextDNS web interface -> Denylist:

NextDNS web interface -> Allowlist:

NextDNS web interface -> Settings:

Done!
You should also activate two-factor authentication (2FA) for your account!:
