I think this is a nice feature. I travel a lot. Having a pi or vm hosting my adblocking resolver will force every request to traverse hetzner in Germany because that’s where I have my stuffs. By using Nextdns I will always have a resolver in the country where I am since they are distributed over the world. Cuts down on the latency and geolocation aware stuffs won’t go bananas and think I’m in Germany.

Ofc, as soon as I enable the use of exit nodes I will be back in Germany again. But I don’t always need exit nodes. Split can be sufficient and this solved one of the issues I had with my use case.
