I disagree with the author that NextDNS is “essentially a finished product”.
For me NextDNS is not that usable and is not a finished product because:
a) I need the ability to turn it off temporarily once in a while (even if it’s on a family member’s device)
b) the NextDNS client apps on iOS/iPadOS are abandoned (not updated for years) and the toggle to turn off or on doesn’t reliably work
c) there is hardly any support in the community forums
With the abandoned and flakey client apps, visiting test.nextdns.com would show “unconfigured” or a NextDNS server information randomly. I never know whether it’s really on or not.
Using a VPN profile is recommended through it cannot be easily turned off and on. But even the VPN profile doesn’t work on my Apple TV.
The NextDNS DNS servers around the world seem to work, but the experience on devices is unreliable and poor. If the founders could employ someone to improve the apps and how it works, I’d use it. I had considered a paid subscription a few years ago but didn’t go through because of these experiences.
