How to gain more control over DNS with NextDNS: 5 steps

General News

Summary

Technically proficient people might run their own DNS setup; in an organization, this typically requires systems that need to be configured, monitored, and maintained, such as physical or virtual servers. With your own DNS setup though, you gain control over which domains are allowed or blocked, as well as insight into the sites that devices on your network access most often. Additionally, during the beta, the service is free, although the sites pricing page conveys the eventual intent to charge once your DNS queries exceed a threshold. Scroll down to the How To Setup section for instructions for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome OS, Firefox, as well as router configuration. The ability to point different devices to different NextDNS configurations lets you selectively restrict or allow access to different sets of sites for different people.
