Profiles

I have one profile configured, Home #1 and used the configurator to download that profile to my Mac, iPhone and iPad. I have also configured my pfSense router to use the NextDNS servers associated with my profile. All works fine and dandy.

What I would like to know is If I change a setting in my profile when logged into my NextDNS account does that proliferate down to all my devices or do I need to use the configuration 'wizard' again and download that modified profile to each and every device?

I guess what I am saying is, are the profiles that I downloaded to each device pointers to my account and if I change something there the individual devices get that new, amended profile setting automatically?

 

Thanks

    «Account» and  «Profile(s)» are different things. 

    Account: https://my.nextdns.io/account (here you will see the total amount of queries from all the profiles, if you have more than one)

    and Profile: https://my.nextdns.io/settings this has the profile in the link like this: https://my.nextdns.io/XXXXXX/settings (XXXX X is a combination of letters and numbers which you see in the «Setup» and «Settings» tabs. It is also at the top of the page and if you click on it you have the option to create «New» ones, dozens and dozens. You can also create duplicate (the configuration) of a particular «Profile» if you wish so from the «Settings» tab (which you can leave it as it is or modify it after that).

    Each «Profile» can be different,they are independent from each other. 

    Any device using a certain «Profile» will use the same settings. Any change will affect all the devices using it. 

    You can connect one, more or all the devices to the same «Profile». 

    You can also use different «Profile» for each device, if you want. Or a combination. You just need to select the «Profile» from the top and like this you can have a total independent settings, logs and analytics for different or every device.

    Thank you. 

    You answered my question and confirmed.
