Unknown server when using "dig"

Hi, I have a RasPi hosting NextDNS cli with the IP 192.168.1.5 - LAN 192.168.1.0/24 - my DHCP serve the RasPi as DNS. When I do a dig from my MacBook using NextDNS app (VPN) because the profile doesn't work. Here is the result :

; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> google.com

The "SERVER" is wrong, what it this ? Doing a dig on my RasPi shows me the right server which is the RasPi.

    That’s not wrong actually, because by using the NextDNS app it won’t be going to your RasPi. The app sets up a local vpn with all dns lookups going through that local IP address and then on to a DoH connection to NextDNS.

    Oh okay I see, now I understand why :) Thanks !
    Btw, do you have any clue why is my profile applied/configured but the DNS is always "inactive", even if I put it on "active" it disable itself after. Is it because I'm on Public Beta ?

      Johnny BOI Oh, you mean MacOS 13.x? There were some odd issues with NextDNS a while ago, I forget the exact problems though.
