Hello and thank you in advance,

I have the year plan from nextDNS, added some blockers but nothing seems to actually be blocked on the wifi. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted, etc. several times (all devices udm-se, switch, APs, computer). As you can see from the photos, I have SSHd into the UDM-SE, ran the prompt and answered the questions (yes to all minus caching) but nothing seems to change. I still get inundated with adds and can go to sites that should be blocked. I also have set up the dns over HTTPs on my comp and only have one profile, yet it does not register when I log in. I have DNS set to AUTO in my ui on my udm-se and ad blocking turned off but I cant seem to get such a simple thing to work. Also as a side note, when I run nextdns active or any nextdns CLI, nothing happens.

  When you run the CLI command there is no output. Only a few commands have any output (status, config and log - oh and all the help commands).

  thats fine, however, nextdns not working is the main issue.

  What is the third picture referring to? If this is in Windows itself you would be better to disable that because you have it already on the router.

  I agree, I only had/have it enabled because I was trying to see if this is working and it is not. even when i have those dns routes plugged in, I still am not connecting via DoH and am able to go to sites that should be blocked.

  Next is to check the DNS settings in the browser. If the DoH settings are set to automatic, you can sometimes see the "Connected with no profile" status.

There are a even more easier ways to doing it. The CLI will need reinstalling at each update. While it’s possible to implement it into the Unifi UI with persistence through the latest version (installed on my UCG-max under version 9.4.19, now testing 10.0.156. No modifications, no issues, work with Unifi blocking features and other advanced security - instead of those functions being unusable while install trough the CLI)

1. Navigate to the Encrypted DNS settings. This may be under "CyberSecure" > "Protection" > "Encrypted DNS".

2. Enable the "Custom" option, give a name to the DNS and paste the stamp/SDNS you copied from NextDNS into the designated field. Your stamp can be found in the DNScrypt config.

3. Apply the settings. Your Unifi router should now be connected to your NextDNS account, and you can check your analytics and make configuration changes on the NextDNS website.

[Additionnal settings]
You may want to identify the trafic coming from your router, instead of the "Unidentified Device". To do so, you need to modify your stamp. You can use a DNScrypt tool to modify the path and give it an identity.

Fallowing the DNS-over-HTTPS naming procedure. Alphanumeric only.

Paths:

/[ID]/[Device Name]

  yes. It’s all you need. Simply copy-paste the new stamp generated
  
  But caution, URL-encoded format. Replace the space by %20 in the device name

  what do you mean, “replace the space by %20 in the device name” ?

  to obtain the identification ”River House UDM-SE” you need to write the path as ”River%20House%20UDM-SE”
