    Oh, you must also consider that NextDNS is American, and legally their government can force the company into cooperation, such as providing a backdoor to monitor all traffic, while placing them under a gag order. If you only want to avoid ads and tracking, that’s fine. However, if you’re concerned about government surveillance, that’s something to think about before using American services. I wonder if such U.S. policies influenced the creators to abandon NextDNS and start a new one in EU… Lavabit creator chose to end his service and close the company before complying.

      Thank you very, very, very much for taking the time to share this knowledge! I’m looking into it now and will implement system wide changes immediately.
