2024 Ubiquiti DNS Shield Configuration Issue
I noticed that Ubiquiti now allows the use of DNS Shield which allows DNS over HTTPS within the Dream Machine Pro's Controller software. I also noticed that NextDNS has 3 entries in the UniFi control panel by default (see attached screenshot). I have a paid NextDNS Pro account. How do I force Ubiquiti's settings to use my specific paid account? In other words, how do I set it to use "https://dns.nextdns.io/XXXXXX" as an entry?

You can’t with this feature. It’s best to install our CLI.

Is there any update in this matter? What's the best practice to have Ubiquiti/Unifi use our paid NextDNS profile for DNS requests using encryption?
Is the latest best practice still to run the https://nextdns.io/cli on the router with specific instructions for UnifiOS from https://github.com/nextdns/nextdns/wiki/UnifiOS (Keep Content Filtering and the Ad Blocking OFF at UnifiOS) ?

First UNA beta was released with the option for „Custom DNS Shield settings“:

Based on the release notes forum comments at Ubiquiti I shall stick to CLI first. The DNS-SHIELD using the DnsCrypt settings in the Unifi Security Settings seems not to run very smoothly yet.
BTW: After the update to the new ("EA") version at Ubiquiti Unifi I had to re-install the CLI using SSH.

Now the general release is out has anyone tried it with Nextdns without using the CLI method? Why do you need the sdns://? I thought DNSCrypt was dying, is that what Unifi is using instead of TLS? I have a cloud gateway ordered and I'd really like it to work with Nextdns.
