What DNS address do you recommend to replace adguard.dns?
What DNS address do you recommend to replace adguard.dns?
On android, I've had trouble with adguard.dns constantly kicking my phone off my wifi. It did great with blocking ads everywhere, but I'm done with reconnecting so often, and I have less data available on my phone plan these days to fill in.
I'm looking for something I can fill in this spot and it just works
What other addresses have you used that consistently block ads?
NextDNS
Seconded
Fourthed
Ok, what do I enter here in order to use that?
First go to https://my.nextdns.io/
Then register
And finally, follow the installation manual
That's all you have to do, it's already configured to block ads so you don't need to worry about that
How is NextDNS vs Adguard in terms of features and privacy
NextDNS is basically pihole as an actual DNS. You can configure your own blocklists and allowlists. They also provide pre-built blocklists, some even from AdGuard itself. As for privacy it supports encrypted DNS like DoH and allows you to choose the logging policy for your requests. You can have no logs, or some logs for a certain retention period (ex. 30 days). You can also choose which country your logs are stored in (ex. Switzerland). You can see your own logs and even analytics about your requests. There are loads of other features as well.
I use mullvad
How has it been working out for you?
pretty good
I recommend using an IP address for your DNS lookups

Mullvad
Ok, what address do I put in for that one?
Pick your preference: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls
Run a DNS benchmark tool that compares their response times for your device
Would I do that through an app or a website?
mullvad is fine
I use dns.watch on pihole. Been working good so far!
Well, I don't have pihole, but I'm sure this will be helpful for someone!
Mullvad, or the best one is your own DNS.
