I saw someone mention NextDNS on HN about 2 months and decided to try it.

The only issue's I've had is:

1. Epic Game Store was blocked - not an issue now as I uninstalled it and bought Borderlands 3 on steam. Now EGS is blocked again.

2. Adverts display in Google now that I don't have an ad-block, but it prevents me clicking them so I'm not fussed.

3. raygun.io is blocked - not sure why as it doesn't track any information of value as it's primarily used for crash reporting, and they are GDPR compliant.

Other than that, this has been amazing. I'm definitely going to be a paid customer once its out of beta.

You can solve issue #3 by whitelisting that hostname in the NextDNS dashboard.

Yup. Did that. The service is crazy simple to use and so effective. I wish there was an option to start paying now.
