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:
- Adding all possible variants of my friend's server's domain to NextDNS's allowlist
- Disabling DNS Rebinding Protection in NextDNS's security settings
- Added a Rewrite for my friend's server's IP in NextDNS's settings
- Added my NextDNS profile's Linked IP DNS server's to Wireguard's Allowed IPs
Details to note:
- 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.
- I use this exact same NextDNS profile with ProtonVPN, without issue.
- All other VPNs (besides Wireguard) were disabled during testing
- Wireguard is not set to full tunnel
- Wireguard has specific Allowed IPs
- 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.
