NextDNS blocks Wireguard's connection to Jellyfin

I am posting this because I couldn't find any previous documentation or discussion about the topic, so I am sorry in advance if this is an already solved problem.

I can't connect to my friend's Jellyfin server using Wireguard when I have NextDNS enabled.
It immediately connects when NextDNS is disabled.

I didn't think it was wildly important, but this was on Android, so I've included it in Tags.
It's potentially worth noting that other operating systems were not tested for this problem.

 

I have already tried the following:

  1. Adding all possible variants of my friend's server's domain to NextDNS's allowlist
  2. Disabling DNS Rebinding Protection in NextDNS's security settings
  3. Added a Rewrite for my friend's server's IP in NextDNS's settings
  4. Added my NextDNS profile's Linked IP DNS server's to Wireguard's Allowed IPs

 

Details to note:

  1. When I turn on Wireguard using my NextDNS profile, my tablet's WiFi symbol has an exclamation point. However, I am still able to use the internet (albeit more slowly). The only thing I can't do is connect to my friend's server.
  2. I use this exact same NextDNS profile with ProtonVPN, without issue.
  3. All other VPNs (besides Wireguard) were disabled during testing
  4. Wireguard is not set to full tunnel
  5. Wireguard has specific Allowed IPs
  6. I can ping the IP of my friend's server with both NextDNS and Wireguard enabled

Does NextDNS have a way for me to configure domains to go to specific DNS servers, such as my friend's DNS server over the VPN? I ask because the Rewrite feature did not seem to accomplish this.

 

I will add details if I recall something else important.

Any help is appreciated.
