I love NextDNS (https://nextdns.io) and I've been paying for it for many years.

My only complaint is that on macOS, I cannot automatically turn the service off on certain wifi networks. This feature exists on the iOS app but is strangely missing on the macOS app.

+1 I love the parental controls I can limit social media to only a few hours a day ( only on my phone profile) And it has good Tailscale integration!

+1 for NextDNS.

Been a happy user for a few years now and introduced many non-tech friends/family into the world of 99% advert-free internet.

I am happy user of controld.com which offers category filtering and analytics.

I started using it because I wanted a portable solution which worked out the box for Linux, Android, Windows, Ios.

For my family, I have two profiles, one for kids and one for adults. At work, a simple profile works for everyone.

Changes are updated in a few seconds, and category filtering works almost perfectly (a few websites over the years were miscategorised, but it's pretty rare, and very easy to override).

Local DNS server with a script that updates the bllacklist is enough for me. In the past it was DNSCrypt now it’s unbound.

I've been running pi-hole for years and love it. https://pi-hole.net

Better than NextDNS ?

Pi-hole operates on your local network.

NextDNS performs the same thing but on the public internet, removing the dependency on a VPN to the private local network.

Pi-hole has served me well enough over the years, haven't felt the need to look at other options.

Why is it better than other options? https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls https://ublockdns.com/

Couldn't tell you, since I never used any other options. I started at pi-hole and never had a reason to look for alternatives.

NextDNS is good
