What's the difference between using the macOS app or just setting the DNS on a router level? Just the attribution to a specific device in the dashboard? I couldn't figure that out by reading the (actually very well written) FAQ.
- nextdns 6y ago- Encrypted DNS (DNS-over-HTTPS) - Ideal routing (low DNS latency) - Bypass DNS-level censorship (inside a country, from your hotel Internet provider, your school, etc.) - Being able to identify your device in the logs (if you choose to) - Hardened Privacy Mode (if you are into that) Edit: this goes for all our apps (iOS/Android/macOS/Windows/Router client), not just macOS.
- dewey 6y agoThat’s very helpful, thanks!
- ianmcgowan 6y agoI literally (not figuratively) setup NextDNS yesterday and so far it's been great. The documentation is awesome, and love the features available. The only mild feedback I have is that the "Setup Guide" doesn't provide enough context about what's going on, and the implications of setting up on my PC vs mobile device vs router. It says: "Follow the instructions below to set up NextDNS on your device, browser or router." A couple more sentences there would be super helpful..

- drcongo 6y agoThe macOS app stopped working for me a while back, but there's also a homebrew package for command line control which works flawlessly.
