Nvidia Shield Pro ignoring NextDNS settings

Hi all,

Sorry to bother you, I've used NextDNS very successfully on a standard desktop computer, but I wanted to use it on my Nvidia Shield Pro as well. I set up a restriction schedule as usual, but the box appears to ignore the config?

Just to confirm:

  • I set DHCP
  • made the gateway my gateway (a Unifi USG)
  • Added the IP
  • and most importantly the DNS instructed for the specific profile.

I set it to disconnect netflix etc. at 11pm, but it seems to ignore this

I may have to side load a web browser and "link IP", but any solution that avoids this will be very welcome.

Other info:

  • Within the Unifi dashboard, I have 'locked' the Shield to a fixed LAN IP.
  • It probably doesn't matter, but the connection is via cable and NOT wifi.
  • I've used 8.8.8.8. and 8.8.4.4 as DNS on the USG, the same device is also doing DHCP

Any thoughts or comments very welcome.

Many thanks,

Chris

    Small update, I side loaded a browser so I could log into my nextdns account, and this is displayed
