just Installed NextDNS, now can not Browse

used the CLI commands to install NextDNS with profile #a####, on Kubuntu 2204, and now, all browsers(Firefox, Librewolf, Waterfox) unable to access Internet.

what can I do to verify install, config, OS, etc.?

'nextdns status' indicates "running"

oh! detail.

i CAN browse to the local router at https://172.x.x.x so, no problem getting out of the box, per se.

    ok, more details.

    UNINSTALLED NextDNS, still no browsing ability.

    glad i was prescient-enough to make an image of the hdd prior to running through nextdns cli setup. 

    and am able to browse.

    is there a guide which details the correct answers for the CLI Setup questions to enable browsing after nextdns cli setup?

     

    ok, more details.

    this MIGHT have been my screw up in terms of dealing with prefs.js files at the same time as the nextdns install,... will try nextdns install again, since replacing the previously-configured prefs.js seems to give FF,.. difficulties.

    ok, IMPORTANT QUESTION arises(again)

     

    on the cli install of nextdns

    sh -c "$(curl -sL https://nextdns.io/install)"

    WHICH! version of curl is one expected to install?

    apt curl v8.15.0

    snap curl v7.81.0

    ??

    which is better for security?

      The apt curl is more integrated with your system. Best to ignore snaps as much as possible.

      done & done.

      so, help me understand why one should "avoid snaps"

      Basically snaps put another layer between your system and the program you want to use. Sometimes there's no problem but once something goes wrong it's quite difficult to find the fault (and then fix it) because of this extra layer.
