Blocking Specific Words

A feature that blocks all websites containing a specific word would be a great addition. For example, I could type "bet," and every website with this word in its address would be blocked. The gambling-blocking category typically works only for well-known sites, leaving many others unfiltered. As a result, I have to find and manually add these sites myself.

There is already another DNS service that offers this feature. I would love to see it implemented in NextDNS as well.

      It is possible. This feature is currently offered by another DNS service. I personally verified it. It is crucial for NextDNS to provide this feature at the moment because I do not have access to the device where I set up the DNS. Unfortunately, it seems that NextDNS is not planning to address this issue. Because of that, I canceled my subscription.

    Traffic proxying required. That’s a different service

    I bet you did not think of using keyword in better context :)

    Beside, DNS query is not aware of content, HTTP layer only get's in touch with website content, which comes later. You can block this on your UTM/NGFW router/firewall or on client machine with some AV or simmilar software.

       Nobody understands what I'm saying, including you. Therefore, further explanation is unnecessary.
