How to Safely Configure NextDNS for Cloudstream Repositories

Hello everyone,

I am currently using the Cloudstream application on my device and absolutely love its functionality. To manage my extensions, I am setting up several external Cloudstream repositories. However, privacy and security are a major priority for me, which is why I use NextDNS across all my devices.

I want to make sure my configuration is fully optimized so that the repositories stream smoothly without triggering false positives, while still keeping malicious tracking or phishing links at bay.

Could the community guide me on the following:

  1. Which specific NextDNS Security and Privacy blocklists (e.g., oISD, NextDNS Recommended, Anudeep, etc.) work best with Cloudstream repo URLs without causing random breaks?

  2. Are there any known false-positive domains or CDNs that I should preemptively add to my Allowlist?

  3. Does enabling features like AI-Driven Threat Intelligence or Native Tracking Protection affect the loading of extensions?

If anyone has a tried-and-tested profile or config guide for this specific setup, please share your thoughts or screenshots below. Your help would be highly appreciated!

    What do you mean by external repos? I have been using cloudstream for around 5 years and NextDNS for 3-4 and haven't had any issues. If you'd like to discuss more about it you can message me in either of the cloudstream discords. Username is yarr

    Edit: Use one good list rather than stacking multiple lists. I would start with OISD, AdGuard DNS Filter, or HaGeZi Multi NORMAL/PRO. Don't preemptively allowlist Cloudstream domains because repositories, extensions, scrapers, CDNs, and video hosts can all use different infrastructure. If something fails, reproduce it while watching the NextDNS logs and allow only the specific domain that was blocked. Keep AI Threat Detection and Native Tracking Protection enabled initially;(i don't use AI detection personally)if an extension fails, check the logs before disabling them. Remember that a repository URL and the domains an installed extension ultimately needs are often completely different. Added tidbit but be careful about adding untrustworthy repo because the way it works they can actually run code when added. Also, the url you shared is blocked by both my HaGeZi list and threat intelligence feeds.
