NextDNS stopped working on my iOS device (iOS 15.6.1)

Hi all,

My iOS device has recently stopped querying NextDNS (as reported on the my.nextdns.io dashboard). This occurs over cellular (LTE) as well as on my school WiFi. It does work when I'm at home and the router is set to query only NextDNS.

This seems to have started recently (I've been using NextDNS for over a year).

I tested with the NextDNS iOS app as well as the configuration profile. I tried "Bootstrap IPs" (in the profile) as well as disabling the "ultra low latency" network (in the app). No joy.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

    RESOLVED: This is an incompatibility with 1Blocker. Even when 1Blocker firewall is set to "HTTP", it still prevents NextDNS from working properly.

    SOLUTION: Turn off 1Blocker firewall. All Safari-specific features can remain on.

    Here’s the issue: 1Blocker installs itself as a pseudo VPN and iOS will always prioritize DNS queries through the VPN settings instead of any local DNS profile that’s installed.  After all, 1Blocker is a DNS-based blocker for in-app blocking.

    I complained to 1Blocker about this, and they will be supporting DoH at some point in the future.
