Ability to assign custom device name when configuring via CLI

Sending your devices name lets you filter analytics and logs by device.
Report device name? [Y|n]:

Hello,

Is it possible to set a custom client (device) name when configuring NextDNS via CLI?

This option is already available/configurable when downloading a profile (MacOS), so I think/hope it would be easy to add it to the CLI tool 🙏

Context:

I have a script that sets a new random hostname for my device every time it boots up, which makes viewing logs/analytics of my NextDNS usage not that helpful.

 

PS: I have to use the CLI cause another network extension (little snitch) is blocking nextdns profile from taking over.

 

Thanks

    For anyone still wondering about this. Simply update the /etc/hosts file on the host itself. Nextdns should pick it up!
