I know you can get good results with NextDNS, but lately I haven’t been a fan of subscriptions and those free trials. I’d like to find something similar, or even better

    300K is nothing but a taste, for normal usage. I’ve been using NextDNS on my home network for a few years. I average 1.2 million queries/month. And that’s with cache boost (forced minimum TTL) enabled.

    $20/year is worth every penny. The amount of time you save in blocking all the ads and surveillance marketing services is worth 10x that.

      To each their own. I have over 30 devices on my network and am no where close to 300,000 unique queries but maybe im significantly underestimating the average user.

      Considering how many other good free solutions (or non subscription based) there are I tend to doubt paying for the pro version of NextDNS is worth it if you are going over the free limit.

        If you are getting something for free, you are generally the product, not the consumer.

          Such an overused trope and really isn’t relevant with DNS resolvers where there are multiple good and, proven, free options.

          Not to mention there are tons of things people pay for and still end up being the product, ISPs being a major culprit.

          I always find it ironic and, a bit laughable, to see users make that statement while participating on a free social media platform.
