Identify devices

On the mobile phone on the private DNS I put what is indicated on installation, on the "installation" page of Next DNS I read at the bottom of the page to enable send device name in the app settings what does it mean? Which is not very clear. Then another fact about "statistics" I read unidentified devices, what are they? How do you see these devices?

    Private DNS uses DoT as the connection to NextDNS. To add a device name to the DoT string you use this example:

    device—name-abc123.dns.nextdns.io

    (using two “-“ will give a space and abc123 is your configuration ID from your profile)

      Honestly I didn't understand, on private DNS I copy what is written on "installation" so I reported on the recommended. E.g. I reported "abc.dns.nextdns.io" that then what you copy to private DNS seems to me to be the DNS-over-TLS/QUIC.

      Where can I find what you wrote "device–name" and where should I report it? It's not very clear to me...

       Private DNS = DNS over TLS

      Instead of using just the private DNS string on setup page, you put your “device name” at the front of the private DNS setting with “-“ in between each.
