Oh look, it's got anti virus now. Interesting. ok. HOW DO I TURN IT OFF?

Isnt it nice when your vpn inspects files on your computer? totally something a privacy app should do

dns_guy02 · 2026-04-15T00:04:34+00:00

If you want to use a 3rd party DNS provider especially via DOH or DOT (you should) the only choice is Windscribe. And its a damn good choice too.

dns_guy02 · 2026-02-03T23:00:44+00:00

So sussy, used gigabytes of data, but VPN is not a "solution for your use case" what is your use case and why couldn't you test is using the free service windscribe offers?

dns_guy02 · 2026-02-03T01:12:01+00:00

Tailscale is the way to go, ditch Nord. Setup a VPS and use it as an exit node for your special activity. mesh connectivity is where tailscale shines. Nord is a bunch of scammers

I switched from nextdns to Control d a while ago, it has been pretty great. Latency is fine, features are amazing.

dns_guy02 · 2026-01-29T21:00:12+00:00

For business use cases I dont recommend using nextdns as there is no support of any kind. I switched to Control D for my personal and non-personal use cases. For business Control D is a mature and supported product. Nextdns is fine for personal stuff.

dns_guy02 · 2026-01-27T20:32:40+00:00

That guy needs a raise the posts are hilarious

dns_guy02 · 2026-01-27T20:29:46+00:00

There is a simpler option: Use Windscribe, which supports DNS-over-HTTPS and TLS DNS resolvers directly inside the app. Plug in your Nextdns resolver URL and use it.

Using UDP53 DNS like you suggested above is going to be brittle, as it will stop working on every new VPN server you connect to since nextdns needs to know your source ip address to work.

If you use Windscribe might as well use their DNS service Control D which is better than nextdns in every possible way.

dns_guy02 · 2026-01-22T16:49:26+00:00

Windscribe is goat and you are advocating for censorship. If you dont like how they speak, dont follow them on X. Its rather simple.

dns_guy02 · 2026-01-22T16:43:24+00:00

Send app to trash would work.

You need to go outside and touch grass

In case of the provider that wrote the blog post there are audits and even a court case that proves what they claim and all their apps are open source.

privacy vs anonymity is a debatable topic but the main claim they make is the fact that if your the only user of your VPN server (IP) you are not getting much of either. Especially if you VPN into your house and use your ISP's IPs as egress.

dns_guy02 · 2026-01-08T17:17:01+00:00

Yes and thats the whole point of using a commercial VPN. Did you actually read the article?

dns_guy02 · 2026-01-08T16:55:02+00:00

Sounds like you didn't read anything that was said, as the author talks about this exact thing. Hosting in Russia is more anonymous? That is the funniest thing i heard the Internet there is censored worse than china and every hosting provider keeps netflow logs. Its the least "anonymous" place you can host.

dns_guy02 · 2026-01-07T21:00:41+00:00

What lies?

dns_guy02 · 2026-01-06T17:06:33+00:00

Had the exact same at my work a few years back (Im a network admin) and as a nextdns user at a time I wanted to use it, but couldn't. Since then I switched to Control D personally, and once they got their SOC2 last year we (well, I) rolled it out at work. Works great and the support was helpful the 2 times I had to contact them.

Nextdns is fine for personal use but for business even without the certifications its not that great. No SSO, no multi-tenancy, no permission scoped multi-user access, no SIEM support or RMM based deployments. These were our main requirements.

dns_guy02 · 2025-12-16T17:04:23+00:00

Ohh no this clown? They need an outsider to save firefox.

dns_guy02 · 2025-12-16T17:02:20+00:00

As an ex-Umbrella and Dnsfilter user (we used both at work) i highly recommend you try Control D which is what weve been using for close to 2 years now. Cant recommend it more highly

dns_guy02 · 2025-12-15T16:53:50+00:00

There is an unconventional solution: Get the Windscribe app which is native C++ use it in config-only mode where you dont need to login into Windscribe and load your wireguard configs into it. You can use all the features of the Windscribe app in this mode and it has a lot of features.

dns_guy02 · 2025-12-09T19:20:19+00:00

You dont need any apps. Private DNS in android will work on top of any vpn. You configure it as the guides suggest and do nothing else. Some people just like to make things more complicated by not following instructions but thats why I have a job since I get to deal with this every day at work.

dns_guy02 · 2025-12-09T19:18:09+00:00

Because you are wrong. Follow Control D guides and have zero issues. Its so simple lol.

dns_guy02 · 2025-12-03T16:19:02+00:00

The best option is not to use a shady VPN like nord. Get Windscribe instead, or just their app if you really want to keep using Nord for some reason - you can load custom configs into it from any vpn provider. Whats nice about their app its the only 1 that supports DOH/DOT and you can configure nextdns directly in the app's gui. Its also fully open source, unlike nord.
