iOS Shortcuts support

commented

Apple requires the app to be foregrounded to modify DNS settings, which makes shortcuts and widgets ineffective since they cannot change the configuration in the background.

New NextDNS version

Android does not provide any API to set up encrypted DNS similar to iOS. The only solution on Android is to create a fake VPN, which can still conflict with other VPNs and is quite hacky.

It will create a live activity you can use to quickly unpause it. Apple prevented us from using the appropriate tech necessary to implement what is in the screenshot (auto resume). We need to update it.

Found a bug with nextdns - querying "AAAA" records for "steering.nextdns.io" usually (but not always) returns zero results

Please try again. Still happening?

Depending on where you are, some PoPs do not have IPv6.

In your case, did you try setting NextDNS DNS IPs as system resolver to see if it improved your steering?

Please do not force (or encourage people to force) your clients to use specific unicast IPs. This method is not reliable. If you use DoH or DoT without bootstrap IPs, we already steer users to the nearest PoPs (ultralow).

If you get invalid steering, you can try to set your system DNS to the IPs listed on the setup page (no need for IP linking) in addition to using DoH or DoT. This will provide the best steering as our auth DNS servers for dns.nextdns.io will be able to see your client IP for steering (as opposed to seeing your provider’s IP). This is rarely necessary though.
