so does it work like this?:

- Client makes a DNS request to ageblockedsite.com using NextDNS server

- NextDNS server returns an IP to a proxy server they control

- Client connects to the site through the proxy server

That's actually pretty neat. I thought they need software running on the client to do the proxying but this scheme doesn't need it.
