Just a perspective - 300k DNS queries is not very much. 1 full day of home use + work (most DNS goes over VPN for that) and I am at 130k queries. So you'll get a nice little trial, but don't expect it to last very long, imo
- porker 6y agoThis. I guess if your router can install their software, and it maintains a local DNS cache, then it'll go further. But without that, it's repeatedly hitting their servers for the same entry, racking up queries.

- ikornaselur 6y agoI'm genuinely surprised you've made 130k dns queries in one day. I've been using NextDNS now for half a year or so and I have 1,021,075 queries in the last 90 days, or roughly ~11k a day. I have ~69k in the past 7 days. I have this set up on all my devices. Are you running a home server or something that could explain so many requests?
- porker 6y agoI have something on my network that has contacted pool.ntp.org 37k times in 5 days. That's a fifth of all my DNS requests. Haven't managed to track it down.
- slenk 6y agoI have ~50 docker containers running with various stuff I am working on. I am sure that contributes quite a bit. 2 Windows 10 machines make a LOT of phone-home queries.
- slenk 6y agoOh, and a Samsung TV, which gets really query-happy if you block its tracking domain
- StavrosK 6y agoI have the same experience. I like them but will stop using them because I apparently do 900k queries a month, for some odd reason...
- JoshuaRLi 6y agoOn my work laptop (macOS Catalina), I get a bunch of `in-addr.arpa` - seems to be reverse lookups. Is that the case for you, too?
