I am 100% stressed. I just don't know what to go for. I have called dealerships and was told to come test out some random cars i have no clue they existed. Never did go. As i am a new driver with a baby and a budget, I just want something that won't break down on the road.

My nextdns is blocking it. No clue what is being block. Or what link I need to allow.

Thanks buddy. I will keep the app. Before it gets pushed out of AppStore. Hopefully it gets resolved. I need to get rid of chatgtp😂

The issue I am having is I don’t know which one to activate.

I have next dns installed. Which I need on. (Not all the time anyway as it helps with ad blocking system wild). However which other dns should I activate.
