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?

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

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 recommend using an IP address for your DNS lookups
