For me problem was DNS leak. There were my ISP's nameservers along with NextDNS. But with YogaDNS no leak. Currently running Adguard Home Windows service because it support DoT too and with custom lists, reduced queries for NextDNS. So I don't think I will install NextDNS app but it may be helpful for others.Hi - Since some updates on Windows 10 ago.... Try to launch the NextDNS App as Admin in Windows. Then the issue should be gone. Or if you use a browser with its own DNS Settings try to point them to NextDNS first.
Sincerely
Val.

Does NextDNS affect Xbox Live services in Windows?

I'm not a gamer. So I don't know. NextDNS is highly customizable. You can whitelist every domain you want.

NextDNS and XBOX Services are working for me on Windows 10. But since I do not play online coop or MMO your Firewall needs to be setup for IPv6 Teredo Ports (Best practice).
Troubleshooting is easy -> If you have allot of Filter Lists active on NextDNS check logs for the XBOX Services and Whitelist them. After that do a "ipconfig /flushdns"
If you have Port Issues look at Microsoft Documentation -> Open these network ports for Xbox One
and (Teredo) -> Manage connections from Windows 10 operating system components to Microsoft services - Windows Privacy
Do not forget some ports need to be NATed to work properly (DNAT) Rules -> Your guide to Xbox One NAT and port forwarding
For Windows 10 XBOX Services Test go to -> START -> Settings -> XBOX -> Xbox Networking and start the Test
Sometimes run the Fix it that will reset the Teredo Port to Default values.

Trying NextDNS after reading all the praise in the forum. Is there any way to block Reddit's promoted posts with it?
that's not possible for the same reason why Youtube ads can't be blocked:
This is a website element and not a own domain which can be blocked with DNS.
So you can hide or block the element but not with any DNS solution.
On mobile where i use Vanadium browser, i get the promoted posts too because of that. It's little bit annoying but okay.

Take note that the oisd list (1 million) blocked Google 2fa the last time I've used it.

I'm currently using it with the NextDNS and Adguard lists + Fanboy's annoyances. Seems enough for me so far.

What privacy lists you guys are using?
At the moment I am using only the default NextDNS list + AdGuard DNS filter, I am thinking in add the oisd list, but I dont want false positives ...

Currently I am using these lists and so far so good:
Steven Black
notracking
NextDNS Ads & Trackers Blocklist
AdGuard DNS filter
oisd
1Hosts (mini)

I use only the default (recommend) lists from NextDNS as these already include a lot lists and they maintain that very well.

Careful with this! Since I only browse specific sites and use Ublock Origin in Advanced mode with 3rd Party scripts and frames on Block. Things can break but is manageable for me.

About 87% of the default NextDNS rules consist of the Steven Black rules. No need to use both.

A technical doubt. Analytics says I've use 26.380 DNS queries, but my account summary says 13.717 queries. Why such a huge difference?
