strange behaviour with NextDNS - need help please
Hi there
This is my first post here, hi to everyone. I am using NextDNS Pro since around 1.5 years and am very happy with it. There is just one thing which impacts my experience.
I use a Fritzbox 4040 as my router and setup DNS over TLS. myconfig.dns.nextdns.io , mainly with Apple Devices (MacBook Pro 2021 M1, iPhone 12 , iPad Air 2) they run on their latest version (as of January 24, 2023)
DNS is set to automatic in the network-settings within the devices and the dashboard says that the respective device uses the NextDNS-config.
I face the issue that when I stream TV with my iPad it suddenly stops, Wifi is still connected. When I try to reach a website from Safari it loads infinitely long. When I reload the website it can be reached by the second try. This behaviour happens randomly and I think its related to NextDNS because the streaming app interrupts as well as loading websites.
question: How can I approach the problem systematically in order to fix the issue. I read this thread https://help.nextdns.io/t/35hmvc8/getting-ios-crash-logs but I dont have the NextDNS app installed nor I consider to install if not necessary.
all the best
Andrew

I'd go with the most basic approach of using a single simple filter to narrow down the error margin, OISD from my experience is the least intrusive. So I'd test with OISD only and see if the issue stays.

hi there
I like that idea, actually I just installed OISD as adblocker. At first I experienced longer loading-times with websites and the streaming-app didnt work at all. I then reinstalled the app it and it seems to work as of now.
To narrow down the problem more I will disable NextDNS for a couple of days and see if really DNS causes the issue or not.I also installed the NextDNS app on the Apple-devices and disabled NextDNS on the router, maybe I can narrow it down to a single device.
