New feature: Download your DNS logs

You can now download the entirety of your DNS logs on NextDNS. Those include every bit of log data we store for you, following our strict policy of "What You See Is What We Have" (WYSIWWH).
Or, in the words of that old Zero Wing game:
ALL YOUR LOG ARE BELONG TO YOU.

So what are the adblockers/filters you enabled in your Adguard for dekstop because many of the adblockers/filters in NextDNS are also available in Adguard for desktop? Can attach some screenshots?

Thanks

He said Adguard Home which is different from Adguard desktop.

Ok my mistake.

Nevertheless it might be interesting to know which filter lists he is using (possibly none).

Wow, that's an interesting setup. I'm using NextDNS CLI on RPi Zero WH.

I'm using same security options but more TLDs.

Showing 3ms in here, but ping and traceroute 2ms.

Hmmm.... things somehow do not change?!

This time with current Sandbox from Checkpoint the Threat Emulation sez = nope!

Have you guys enabled these two features? Does it improve performance, minimize queries?
I also play an online FPS game. Will this have any impact on that, positive/negative?

I disable both as I have Pro so I don't care about less queries.
Disable CNAME flattering can solve some problems but it's still a new feature so I guess time will fix that.

Anyway I will not change that in my guide as it's better compatible with non-Pro account

I'm using free. I have found this info.

Minimize DNS queries by enforcing a minimum TTL (Time to live).


Some DNS answers are set with very low TTL to force DNS recursive resolvers like us to refresh them very often. Low TTLs also force end-clients (your devices) to perform new DNS requests on almost every use.


When Cache Boost is enabled, a minimum TTL of 300 (5 minutes) is enforced on DNS answers before they are sent to your devices. Our servers will still refresh those entries at the requested frequency, but it won’t force your devices to perform more queries than necessary. This is especially interesting on mobile devices with high latency to DNS and limited battery life.

So looks like it could be useful specially for free users.

Thats what he was trying to say. He has unlimited queries and doesn't need to enable Chache boost. For people with 300k queries it could be useful.

As NextDNS default list use e.g., StevenBlack list, it includes some false positives.
Sadly, the NextDNS team nor StevenBlack want to fix the problems.

Look here: crssi/NextDNS-Config (github.com)

Like me, you can use NextDNS using YogaDNS if you wish. It's better than the official app IMO.

You should, it is a Sisyphus job that doesnt accomplish anything but meaninglessness triggering your and some users paranoia, pure FUD.
