NextDNS lets you choose filtering lists and decide whether to retain DNS logs. If you use it, check the logging setting instead of assuming the default fits your needs. DNS filtering can cut down some unwanted requests, but the DNS provider becomes a point of trust and filtering is not a replacement for browser protections.

What it offers

  • Custom blocklists and parental controls
  • Log retention and location controls
  • Works across browsers and apps

Limitations

  • DNS provider can receive domain lookup requests when logging is enabled.
  • DNS filtering cannot block every tracker or hide traffic destinations from the websites themselves.
  • Incorrect setup can affect network access.
