    DNS is above applications work so it's better and faster.

     

    Antivirus filtering also break your whole SSL/ TLS security.

    Malware is often served up via ads, and by recently registered domains. NextDNS allows you to block both before they hit your circuit.

    Ohk...true....but what about the fact that Antivirus like Bitdefender uses heuristic analysis and signature based blocking of malicious links which allows it to block sites even if the site isn't present in its blacklist database?

    Layered defenses can provide greater protection.  But, sometimes complicate diagnostics.  Do what works for you.
