It apprears that NextDNS has removed No Google, No Facebook, and other blocklist without notifying users. One person said the NSA blocklist was also down. The company had made no responses to complaints on the community server when I checked earlier. Crickets…

I noticed Android and Linux being unable to access the app and web interface to confirm connections, starting some time on November 4th. I was able to switch DNS providers on Android and switch back, after which NextDNS seemed to work. On Linux however, systemd confirmed it was enabled but it went right to google’s webpage with no block.

If you’re on NextDNS, go check your domain filters ASAP. I switched to RethinkDNS, and it’s been decent so far. What is everyones preferred solution?

    I think I recall Tailscale being a Microslop product with big tech single sign-on options. Assuming I can get past the MS thing, can we use a regular id/password instead of logging in with big tech accounts?

      You could sign in/sign up with your email vs single sign on. I used an alias when I registered. That was some time ago so I’m not sure that’s still an option. I haven’t confirmed.

      As far as I can tell, they are not a Microsoft product.

      I’m not sure about the MS (which I hate as the next guy), but the point is, it’s what works. You can replace Tailscale with Headscale or NetBird, or even just WireGuard.

      The last time I checked, it was not possible for some stupid reasons. I am trying to reduce reliance on them as well as I think its gonna get enshitified soon.
