Configuration profile on Mac OS Big Sur not working

Hi guys, I have downloaded the configuration profile on my mac running mac os big sur. I have installed the profile, trusted root CA and signed the config profile. In my network preferences I can even see that the service is running however when I go on mynextdns main page it says that it is still using google as DNS resolver. On my Iphone I have also done the same and it works. Also if I use the app on my mac it works but not with the config profile... Can anyone help me as it seems to be a common issue on mac OS?

    In case someone on a Mac comes across this thread....Little Snitch 5  will also cause the profile to fail because of its network extension. Don't think there is a way around that either aside from uninstalling Little Snitch. Just turning off the network filter didn't work.

      Jason Kratz Thank you, you saved me a lot of time and research!

      On a side note, I use Tailscale VPN, and I ended up configuring NextDNS there. It works perfectly and does not require any extra install (assuming you already have Tailscale installed). I found this article on Tailscale website, but it seems a bit outdated: now you can just select NextDNS in the dropdown and input your profile ID.
