Leaving for Adguard
Greetings. I've been a long time user of NextDNS, and have decided that due to lack of new features, as well as zero feedback on bug reports, that this project is all but dead. I haven't seen any new features in well over a year, and the proxy app for Windows machines is an absolute joke compared to the competition.
I hope the developers are paying attention, b/c they have made a masterclass on how to lose customers: Zero innovation. Adguard is leaps and bounds better, and allows configuring separate DNS servers (NextDNS would call these "configuration profiles" but it's a much weaker concept in NDNS) and has much better reporting. It also supports QUIC, and is the only vendor to do so.
While NextDNS is a quality product, due to lack of new development and zero input on glaring bugs, you've shown you aren't listening to your customers. I can no longer recommend this service in good faith as well. I am a developer of over 20 years, and am baffled as to what work is actually being done on this product. So long.

It's been mentioned that NextDNS is in maintenance mode, which means they keep it working without improving. Also, it's true that there's only so much you can do in a DNS service.
Some people also mentioned that there was some unacknowledged downtime recently (even though I didn't notice).
They do reply here and there on the forum.
DDNS link has been broken for about a month and a half at this point, and they don't reply to these particular reports.
It works, and they have servers in my location so ping is better than some competitor.
I do wish they kept adding features like notes for whitelists and blacklists to keep track of what's added in there. There's an extension for that, but it doesn't sync to the account.

After seeing this post and reading the comments, I felt compelled to create an account just to support the developer of NextDNS. It's truly pathetic how competitors use strategies to try to damage a serious and solid product like this. Many comments are obviously generated by bots. I have been using it for years and it is what a product should be: simple and effective for its intended purpose. It works almost perfectly. It clearly reflects the class and quality of the product that the competitors have to offer.
