At home I am using PiHole but "on the road" I also what a good solution like PiHole. So a few days ago I read that NextDNS is a good option and in some cases even better then PiHole. So that is, why I'm now here to get some opiniond from you gals and guys :)

I've been using NextDNS for about 1.5 years as a paid customer.

Sometimes I run into these weird connection issues where nothing loads. I turn off private DNS on Android then turn it back on and pages start loading again. I haven't had this issue on iPadOS and Windows.

I don't know if it's an Android thing or a NextDNS thing.

I wish there was an easier way to enable/disable it on their website as sometimes you need to access a website blocked by your filters and it can be cumbersome to remove private DNS in Windows' settings.

Other than that it's worked well.

Using ND for 3y now, have not had your issue with loading. Pixel 8 Pro, graphene. Family is also on Pixels, stock, no issues. All on ND, of course.
