On Android, the NextDNS app registers itself as a VPN, so you can't use it simultaneously with, say, Mullvad.
The custom DNS option in Android's network settings rarely seems to work in my experience, but I haven't tried in a couple years.
- sha-3 4y agoIt has almost always worked on my devices though.

- whatsthatabout 4y agoThis is particularly unlucky for macOS if you want to use a application-firewall like "Little Snitch" - since Apple removed kernelextensions on macOS (which LittleSnitch and others used before) they now have to also fake a VPN. Because of this, you cannot use a custom DNS and Little Snitch. [1] [1]:https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardDNS/issues/214 https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardDNS/issues/214
