Best Installation Method

Hello,

I am a new user of NextDNS. I have mostly iPhones, iPads, and Macs. I have a few PCs. 

What is the best installation method of NextDNS? A router install or installing profiles manually on each device? Linked IP with a DDNS entered? HELP! Thanks!

    I use a Raspberry Pi running NextDNS CLI. All my LAN devices use the RPi local IP address as the DNS server, allocated by DHCP on my router. Anything I use away from home I setup NextDNS on the device itself. On my Android phone, for example, I use PrivateDNS to point to my NextDNS config profile. The advantage of using a RPi (or a NAS or similar) is that all your home devices are protected , including things like smart TVs, IoT switches and so on.

    The NextDNS homepage has instructions for configuration on a device by device basis.

    The NextDNS CLI wiki has installation instructions for all sorts of devices, including routers:

    So, one device running NextDNS CLI on your home network, and then NextDNS set up individually on devices you might use outside of your home network.
