NextDNS
The new firewall for the modern Internet

NextDNS is a cloud-based DNS firewall that protects users from malware, phishing, cryptojacking, and privacy threats by filtering DNS queries in real time. It blocks ads and trackers across all devices and networks using popular blocklists and native tracking protection. It also offers parental controls, analytics, and logging with configurable data residency options.
NextDNS intercepts DNS queries at the network level using DNS-over-HTTPS or DNS-over-TLS, filtering requests against threat intelligence feeds and blocklists in nanoseconds without impacting device performance.
