macOS app no longer seems to work after upgrading to macOS 12.4
Just upgraded to Monterey 12.4 and it doesn't appear that the macOS app is working anymore
- App is enabled with a Configuration ID set
- visiting test.nextdns.io shows that it is not connecting by DoH (expected result is that you would be)
- NextDNS Account panel shows an amber status up the top, with a message that the NextDNS configuration is not being used
I tried a configuration profile but I get the same result. Manually adding my configurations' DNS servers in System Preferences does work (it shows up in my logs), but the traffic isn't DoH (which is expected) so this workaround isn't ideal.
-
For me, updating to macOS12.4 gives the following:
- test.nextdns.io shows: ""status": "ok","protocol": "DOH",
- ads are not blocked in safari, but are blocked in firefox
(iCloud relay is "off")
Makes no sense to me!
-
And also same behaviour on iOS 15.5:
- test.nextdns.io is OK
- ads are not blocked
Definitively seems that the update broke something
-
Same here – updated macOS to 12.4, and the nextdns.io app apparently stopped doing much if anything at all. Setting Prefs > Network > DNS to 45.90.28.166 seems to help, though.
-
Still on 12.3.1 (derp), and seeing ads in Safari (15.4) and Chrome today?
Going to my.nextdns.io shows me "This device is not using NextDNS" even though it's clearly enabled. -
I also just noticed issues.
Details:
- Issues for me are on macOS 12.3.1 (so it's probably not related to 12.4) with the NextDNS app. I'm seeing my ISP DNS and the status icon is red. My ISP DNS is also shown in leak tests
- The profile on macOS 12.3.1 still works, the icon is green mostly* and my ISP DNS is not shown in leak tests
- iCloud Private Relay on or off doesn't matter, the app does not work, the profile does
- On iOS 15.4.1, the app seems to work fine still
* About mostly: The setup tab (used in Brave, no Private Relay) currently shows my ISP and a red icon, even though I'm still seeing the log reflecting pages visited.
