[QUOTE="valvaris, post: 911429, member: 38787"] I am relatively new to NextDNS but a veteran in Networking. ;) What I like in terms of NextDNS allot is offloading the Adblock features from "PFblockerNG" / "Pihole" to NextDNS. That just gave my network a nice boost. Not that I run a potato Firewall but how PFblockerNG handles massive amounts of packets to look in to. Just imagine a Proxy to Proxy service - So traffic comes from one port and needs to travel thru the Rules and PFblockerNG then it can go to the Uplink servers. In my case it was Cloudflare Sec. DNS over TLS - 1.1.1.2 and 1.0.0.2 @853 TCP Had major DNS spikes from 10ms - xxxxxms So the idea was to offload everything that has to do with DNS filtering to NextDNS -> [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/setup-nextdns-with-pfsense.104831/']Here is my Guide for Pfsense firewall boxes.[/URL] <- MalwareTips Guides Forum :D In the Guide I mention a Client that handles DNS over HTTPS very good without clogging Windows 10 Event logs! Offload DNS to your Router or other network device. That will handle Dynamic IP registration and verification to NextDNS services.
