NextDNS 4+

Have had this app running on two devices using the free option and it works amazingly well. I’m not against the subscription option but I think I don’t need it. Support I do need and from where I’m sitting the turnaround - via Twitter because I can’t find the chat link on the website - is not so hot.

I absolutely used to love this service, but unfortunately after putting all my devices on this service, they started to behave peculiarly, for example, websites would not load and emails would not come through on my phone whatsoever, and my phone would seem to be very slow

If I disable the DNS and fell back to my normal DNS or Google DNS, everything would work fine once again, it’s a very easy and powerful service but you have no status page - this means if their services do not work, you could not confirm where the problem, so you need to be quite technical to troubleshoot your own problems.

I think it is quite inappropriate for a company not to have a status page, especially if you have a business plan, you could rely on their infrastructure for your Internet.

Yes, you get the useless “ping” tool - but that only tells you where your nearest server is located. It has nothing to do with connectivity to that server.

I have ended up switching back to Google DNS - and my phone and device misbehaviour has magically gone away, it could be absolutely so much better, but if you’re looking for Protection I’d probably recommend you use Umbrella - they have plans for non-corporate customers as well

I don’t normally write reviews...

However, this App and Service is something else. It’s completely free... although there is a payment for a greater number of DNS queries, which most users will unlikely reach this limit which I think is 300,000 per month in total across multiple devices.

It acts a DNS service using a VPN profile.

You have the ability to configure - and you can customise this to suit your needs - various filters to filter out trackers, ads, social media etc

Check out their website. It’s more detailed than I can explain.

If don’t want trackers, and most ads, and therefore makes your phone or iPad faster and more secure (can be used on your computer too) - then this app is for you.

This app / service is that remarkable!!
