Unidentified Devices, what are they and how do I delete/block it?

I made a second account with nextdns, to see if I was hacked or not. but it's on both and they make a lot of queries. 

I do not own the network I'm Currently on it comes with the APT I'm renting.

I want to support nextdns but if it does not work correctly...

I have 4 devices that use my NextDNS profile. (1)MBPm2, (1) iPhone, (1) iPad mini 6, (1) iPad pro m1.

I have delete the log file, but Unidentified Devices keep popping up again.

 

- What are Unidentified Devices?

- How do I delete/block them?

    Unidentified devices are usually unencrypted DNS requests. In other words if you have set things up using IPv4 or IPv6 IP addresses then all you will see are unidentified for the devices list.

      R P M  I used the Apple configurator  for all my Apple devices, and I see my profile devices as well. 

      how do you guys set this up to get all traffic encrypted?

      ks Hmm… around a third of total requests it would seem. Quite a significant amount I would say. 

      I’m guessing that you must have set NextDNS IP server addresses somewhere in your setup? Maybe set those back to default or another option is to setup a local dns server to relay requests to NextDNS via either DoH, DoT or even QUIC.

    That's what I was thinking too. Use Brave and I had to use the nextdns address under custom dns for it to be recognized under Brave.

    Turns out, I did not understand how to set it up properly. I thought it was enough to use the address, but you have to add a name at the end, like they say. I’m just stupid

    Did you figure it out how to delete it?
