ISP + EERO + [Desktop, Laptop, iPhones] - where to configure?

So I have ISP (Cox) that allows to configure custom DNS.
Then I have EERO mesh networking boxes.
And then i have computers, iPhones that connect to EERO WiFi.

How to configure this jungle?
Do i need to set custom DNS setting on every piece that allow to customize DNS or should i cherry pick and choose only certain devices?

    For MacOS and IOS install the config profile on each device.  You can use the same profile for each one. Then, for the router create a profile with a Linked-IP.

      Roy This is not MAC world though.
      COX has web access to configs including DNS, Windows 10 is having it's own thing and my iPhone has it's own thing that refuses to accept the generated profile.
      And then if I enable NextDNS app on iPhone - everything stops working.

      Where is my red button?

    Not sure it’s worth the trouble. Just do a VPN.

    Depends on how global you want the changes to be. If you want it on every device connecting to your eero mesh router (s) and assuming you have a static ip from Cox then you'll link that static public ip with NextDns and manually enter the NextDns' dns ips into your routers web interface via it's custom dns option/section. So any device connected wired/wirelessly to your eero(s) will all use NextDns. As for external connections for your iOS device(s) once you're outside your home network, you'll need to setup those device config profiles Roy mentioned or use NextDns App if possible
