Mac profile doesn't work

I have NextDNS configured with one configuration at the router (Mikrotik) that is very restrictive, and then I want another one at some devices that is less restrictive (let's call it "Parents"). On our iOS devices this works great using the NextDNS app. 

However I'm trying to use the NextDNS profile on my Mac, Monterey, and while I see it in raw profiles as enabled, when I go to the NextDNS portal it says it is using the router configuration. 

Any ideas?

    What browser are you using on iOS? If using Chromium-based browsers there’s a bug / “feature” where they’ll bypass the profile and use plain DNS servers, which would likely be your router in this case.

    if you access the NextDNS portal with Safari, does it still report its using the router profile?
