I have a hex - RB750Gr3 runing ROS v6 and I'd like to add NextDNS to it. I think I know how to do it but I just wanted to check here first rather than ask for help fixing it after :slight_smile: According to the insctructions on the NexDNS website, it says to just simply copy and paste the followin…

No idea on how NextDNS work, but the snippet you posted is seemingly an "all-in" option. It looks like it does 3 things: Remove any existing DNS server and ADD dns.nextdns.io for IPv4 /ip dns set servers="" /ip dns static add name=dns.nextdns.io address=45.90.28.0 type=A /ip dns static add name=…

Sure, if It Is for fun or to learn new, strange, things, go ahead :slightly_smiling_face:.

Don't let the story behind it discourage you. NextDNS has nice statistics and an easy way to subscribe to blocklists and filters without going all PiHole. So regardless of its origins it can be worthwhile.

So I tried it and I'm not sure I did it right but here's what I did. Can't paste into the terminal in webfig so I downloaded winbox and opened the terminal in there. I tried pasting the entire paragraph of code at once and it failed. I'm assuming that notepad adds empty space or something that screw…

Those IP addresses are received through your DHCP client. You can disable this by setting use-peer-dns=no.

Another dumb question but ... where/how do I do that?

Either dhcp client (/ip/dhcp-client) or pppoe client.

Yep. Basically, the canonical config - and the one the directions you found are pushing you toward - is to only have DoH configured with no other static or dynamic dns server. Looking up the DoH server is done using static entries.

Just wanted to say that everything "appears" to be working very well. No problems so far that I can see, So thank you all for your help. Very much appreciated.
