Grouped configurations

Hi,

We have a business account.

We have people spread out all over the place: we have different offices in different countries, and some people working from home, and so on.  We'd like all of them to use nextdns, both for the filtering, and also for some custom DNS rewrites.

We're using IPv4 and can't (and I'm afraid, for various technical and security reasons, don't want to!) install additional software on clients.

From what I understand, the only way to achieve the above (multiple IP addresses) is to create a new configuration for each internet facing IP address that we have?

The way this is setup currently is a nightmare. We have various filters setup, and custom allow lists. When we create a new configuration for a new IP address I'm having to manually copy across each setting (every rewrite, reapply each filter, add each whitelist domain individually again, and so-on and so-on).

You could simplify this by either:

Allowing multiple IP addresses to be associated with the same configuration


Allow grouped configuration profiles (i.e. I create a configuration group, and when I add a new one it automatically copies across the setting from the group's default configuration setup, allowing me to use the same up across several configurations and IP addresses)


Or, at the very least, when creating a new configuration, allow me to copy an existing one rather than creating a blank sheet (this would be my least favoured option, because then of course, when I make additional changes I still need to change each configuration).

Could you at least try and simplify this a little bit, for those of us with multiple IP addresses?

Many thanks.

    Using multiple “IP addresses” or devices / endpoints on one profile configuration works wonderfully and I’ve been doing it for a while :). I simply copied the DNS server address of the profile ("Stand with me") into several routers in order to filter all traffic from the individual devices / routers with a profile or filter configuration. But I also miss the ability to copy an entire profile, for example to simply copy a standard profile that you want to use in order to have several individual DNS access points so that not all devices come into one big log and you don't know which device sent what, but rather that you that can filter nicely with your own profile and log without having to create a new one by hand and completely from new...
