What happens after 300k queries?
NextDNS can be used for free up to 300k queries per month. Once this limit is reached, it becomes a standard DNS resolver, with no filtering, no logging etc.
You get a first email notification when crossing 250k queries and another one when the 300k limit is reached.
A paid plan gives unlimited queries.
-
Do you get an email or other alert that the 300k query limit is reached?
-
Larne yes, you get a first email when crossing 250k queries and another one when you reached you 300k quota.
-
-
I understand that the logging and blocking features stop working after 300K queries.
But am I correct in saying that the DoH stays active and your queries are still sent over HTTPS to NextDNS?-
Christiaan yes
-
-
I've got that mail for 250K queries but I can't figure out the site with what is shows on queries done for my account.
-
If in Settings - Logs - Retention you set up a period shorter than 1 month or if you did a Clear logs or you changed the Storage location of course you can't figure it out.
-
-
What is the etc?
-
Once you hit 300k and get shut off, is the shutoff permanent?
-
Aaron Barclay just until the next month.
-
-
I disabled logging in the settings so how are you keeping track of the number of requests if there are no logs being saved?
-
IP you can't
-
IP Logs save the domains that are hit, if they are blocked or not and other information like what IP and client requested the domain. The amount of requests you made, that's different, on free accounts, they have to keep track of the information to stop abuse.
So, logs save domains and how they were processed and information about them.
The amount of queries made is probably seen to stop absue and doesn't have any real information as it's simply the amount of requests a user made nothing identifiable, if they didn't limit it, I mean why would people buy pro most people would simply abuse the system.
-
Hey I did not ask 'why' but 'how' are they able to track the number of queries without logging? Are there any other logs we are not aware about? (privacy issue)
-
IP it's just a counter incremented per request / per account, this does not require logging.
-
-
Hello, So the 300k queries reset every month like I used 300k queries this February then does that mean the 300k queries reset when it hits The first of March? And all the restricted features will now be open again?
-
Could we get a detailed information on what features can we get under 300k queries, and what features are turned off once the limit is reached?
-
Rhizen once the limit is reached, all features except basic DNS resolution are disabled. It becomes like using a standard DNS resolver.
-
NextDNS so it just basically converts hostname into an IP address right? But is it still complies with your privacy policy that protects users' data even though the 300k queries are used up? it is just the features that will be disabled?
-
Rhizen it won’t protect you anymore.
-
NextDNS Just to make it clear, features and privacy policy are two different thing. Are you saying that by using your service and I have used up all 300k queries, all statement indicated in your privacy policy (here: https://nextdns.io/privacy) will not apply to me? So you have the ability to log and sell my data?
-
Rhizen our privacy *policy* still applies. When reaching 300k, nothing is logged anymore, so there would be nothing to sell anyway.
-
NextDNS Thank you!
-
-
What happen if I create more than 1 profile ,is 300k is the limit of sum of all profiles, or for each profile?
-
Huy Bui all profiles
-
NextDNS Many tks, so I'm gonna buy unlimited anyway :))))
-
-
Hi,
After reaching 300K will the rewrite functionality also be blocked?
Thanks -
Does this mean my queries are up? I’m kinda new here and I’ve used NextDNS for almost 3 weeks… I checked my logs today and this is all that shows up it wasn’t like this before
-
I am quickly approaching my 300k query limit on NextDNS, and I've noticed that one particular service, Stremio, is responsible for a large portion of these queries. It seems to generate thousands of queries within just an hour or even half an hour. I have set up NextDNS using portmaster, and I'm wondering if there's a way to whitelist Stremio so that its traffic doesn't go through NextDNS. This would allow me to avoid unnecessary filtering and prevent Stremio from using up my free queries.
