About:
Nextdns is a command-line interface tool that configures and manages NextDNS DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) on your system. It automates the setup of encrypted DNS queries, ensuring privacy and security for your internet connection. The tool helps bypass local DNS restrictions and provides a seamless way to utilize NextDNS's filtering capabilities.
Key Features:
  • Automated DNS-over-HTTPS setup
  • System-wide configuration management
  • Privacy and security enhancement
  • Bypasses DNS censorship
Use Cases:
  • Securing DNS traffic on public Wi-Fi networks
  • Blocking ads and trackers at the DNS level
  • Ensuring privacy from ISP monitoring
Alternatives:
  • cloudflared – Cloudflared is specific to Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 service, whereas Nextdns is tailored for the NextDNS ecosystem.
  • dnscrypt-proxy – Dnscrypt-proxy supports multiple providers and protocols but requires more manual configuration compared to Nextdns's automated setup.
