NextDNS setup with pfsense (I need help with full tutorial)
If I do the following steps I'll not get the device name. I'll get as unidentified devices
pfSense
1. Go to Services → DNS Resolver and on the tab General Settings scroll down to the Custom Options box.
2. Enter the following lines:
server:
forward-zone:
name: "."
forward-tls-upstream: yes
forward-addr: 45.30.30.30#XXXXXX.dns1.nextdns.io
forward-addr: 2f06:b8f0::#XXXXX.dns1.nextdns.io
forward-addr: 45.30.30.30#XXXXX.dns2.nextdns.io
forward-addr: 2f06:b8f2::#XXXXXX.dns2.nextdns.io
I tried to ssh the pfsense and run the sh -c 'sh -c "$(curl -sL https://nextdns.io/install)"' it will install the application but still shows spectrum is your DNS resolver.
Thank you!

Thanks for those instructions and worked for me. I do have a question for those that use pfsense like I do. How to I make the firewall use Wireguard VPN Dns instead of using Nextdns? I have both Wireguard and unbound custom option enabled and haven't been able to figure it out. Nextdns sends SNI in plain text correct? When using a VPN this info should also be encrypted correct?
