NextDNS has been reliable, fast and really really great for me and my family - until January this year.

Something is not alright with the infra at NextDNS - daily outages both on UDP port 53 is now a common theme.

It first started with outages with DoT, and I reported the issue several times. Now the issue is affecting DoT, DoH and "normal" DNS over UDP.
This week, has been real bad. Forcing me to stop using it so I actually can work.

Please fix this, or atleast COMMUNICATE with your customers that is paying for the service. Provide us with tools that we can run periodically and submit reports with it.

My ISP is Telia, and I can confirm that other DNS-servers works - so it is not my connection that is borked.

I can't recommend nextdns to people or companies anymore, those who I recommended to use it last year have now switched back to google and cloudflare.

Here is the logs, the posting functionality does not even work...

Welcome to NextDNS network diagnostic tool.
This tool will download a small binary to capture latency and routing information
regarding the connectivity of your network with NextDNS. In order to perform a
traceroute, root permission is required. You may therefore be asked to provide
your password for sudo.
