I'm looking forward to when the customization options are available as an alternative/addition to OpenDNS. The morality police argument doesn't seem to hold much water if they are going to let you whitelist or blacklist anything you want or turn categories on or off.
- basch 7y agoHave you used https://nextdns.io/ https://nextdns.io/ ?
- rshurts 7y agoNo. But I'll have to check it out. Do you use it and the mobile apps? Do you have problems with connecting to public wifi when running the app? I've noticed setting the DNS locally on a computer throws off the local library wifi that has the captive page that makes you agree to terms before proceeding.

Due to the infinitely many knobs, I dont know which list is blocking it from the error page, just that the page cant be founbd. Yesterday it was http://www.futureus.com/ http://www.futureus.com/
