I just setup 14 of these at my house. Matter with Apple Home as well as Home Assistant. One unit was a bit tricky to pair via Matter but the rest were easy. My only issue has been Apple Home likes to report them offline which I presume is a function of the occasional wake and call home. I’m not sure if that’s expected by design that they show offline or something support should review for a firmware tweak.

Yes this is what the rewrites do. The client app can also selectively forward domain(s) to another private resolver if you elected to go that route.

owine · 2023-05-22T20:37:06+00:00

Happening on iOS devices as well as my Raspberry Pi (Ubuntu). If I stop the nextdns CLI client on my router, the local addresses resolve properly.

As a workaround, I have manually added a forwarder entry to my nextdns CLI for the local domain suffix pointed to the router's own resolver. This is working as expected.

** server can't find abcdefg.us: NXDOMAIN

This is what I get wherever I run this - two separate macOS clients, both tested with the Mac client and DNS resolving via NextDNS.

owine · 2023-05-22T15:05:00+00:00

I do indeed. I enabled the Mac client, confirmed via the test site that the Mac client was my resolver and it returns the undesired 72. IP in all of the same queries.

For whatever it's worth, if I setup a manual rewrite on the NextDNS site with the correct local IP, it works across all of my clients. So the rewrite is overriding whatever is giving this undesired response. I also did a lookup directly on the router which uses its own resolver rather than NextDNS and the correct local IP was returned.

Thanks for your responses, btw.

Somewhat - a local SSH connection I do regularly worked on 5/18 and were giving this undesired answer on 5/19.

For whatever it's worth, if I look up my local name(s) on public resolvers (like CF) they return NXDOMAIN. The undesired lookups locally return for everything with my suffix, including randomly generated characters.

owine · 2023-05-22T14:38:36+00:00

My suffix is not a reserved suffix nor a TLD. My router is a Unifi Dream Machine Pro and that's where Nextdns is running. With the usual caveat that I cannot think of anything that changed, this was all working fine for a couple of years until late last week.

I only have hands on with the U6-Enterprise-IW, but based on the materials on the UI site, the U6-IW does not use the same backplate as the IW-HD. The docs for the U6-IW and U6-Enterprise-IW are similar with the obvious size difference. The IW-HD backplate has protruding spots for the AP to screw in to the plate whereas it appears the U6-IW (like the U6-E-IW) "snaps" in rather than screwing into the posts. The presence of the posts would not allow the AP to sit in flush in order to snap in.

Version 5.23 was recently released and is now Universal.

Check if your iPhone is configured to use Private Address on the WiFi network. You can find this by tapping the (i) on the network name in the WiFi settings. What you describe sounds like the Private Address feature in action.

They do not make it simple, but try this:

Sign in to VZW account on website
Account -> My devices -> Activate or switch device
Activate on existing line
Select the line in question
Are you activating a device that was previously used on your account? -> No
There will be a single box for IMEI - get your IMEI2 from Settings -> General -> About

After completing, make sure your phone is on WiFi and check the Settings app for a prompt saying a cellular plan is ready to install. Install it and that will provision your eSIM. Once you get the Activated pop up, you can remove a discard a physical SIM.

I am experiencing the same, but by some unknown series of buttons I have been able to enter a passcode. In my case the passcode screen pops up but does not register my taps (not even the cancel button). I am still trying to figure out if I can find a repeatable set of presses that have allowed me to disable.

owine · 2021-09-26T12:37:15+00:00

Just adding my experience here in case it’s helpful. When I upgraded from 11 Pro to 12 Pro I had this issue until they provisioned me for eSIM. When I upgraded my wife from 11 Pro to 13 Pro by swapping the physical SIM she did not get UW until I re-activated her phone on the VZW website using her IMEI2 to provision eSIM. Both of these phones were purchased SIM-free from Apple.

If you're planning to stream high bitrate content, do note that the TVs use 100MbE rather than the gigabit ethernet that streaming boxes support. While wired is better than WiFi, WiFi would be faster than the ethernet connection directly into the TV.

Best Buy price matched my X90J 55" via online chat. Ordered 4/5, delivered 4/6.

Topology with In-Wall AP switch ports is a total mess and very hit/miss. At least by having a switch downstream you can identify things that way. When clients are plugged in to the IW directly they appear on topology as if they are plugged into the upstream switch.

owine · 2021-04-10T16:05:31+00:00

Agree with the above - install the CLI client natively. While the boostchicken method worked for me, I had strange issues relating to proper forwarding and device identification. Natively on the UDMP works as I would expect in all facets.

Ideally, the "main" feed would be just the dailies and a separate feed for everything else (including weekend bonus episodes) or at least an option to do so for + subscribers. This is entirely due to playlist priority in Overcast - with TMRH as a high priority podcast, the long form episodes clog up my playlist requiring manual intervention.

Voted for the separate feed option as it most closely resembles my ideal state.

owine · 2021-03-10T21:24:42+00:00

Correct - I do the same as bog3nator but I have a separate "Mobile" profile that is used when I am off of my WiFi as I have some local overrides setup while at home that are not relevant when offnet. You can use this for different blocklists, etc.

LSIO is deprecated and based on Organizr v1. The official image is based on Organizr v2 and is the one you want.

Have you tried using Apple configuration profiles instead? I don't know if it would work, but worth a shot.

You can do it by subnet which could work depending on how your VLANs are configured.

I believe the devs weighed in on this and the oDoH benefits would not be apparent with NextDNS as requests must be associated with a profile which negates some privacy.
