Using Profiles On Network and Specific Devices

I've got NextDNS CLI running and I'm trying to get profiles working on specific devices and I can't make it work. Here's what I've got in my config but every device used the profile that starts with the b and none of them use the profile starting with the 4.

Can anyone shed some light on what's happening?

Thanks.

       Was the b profile the first one used when setting up the CLI?

      Did you remember to restart the CLI after making changes to the config?

       Yes, the b profile is the first one from the setup. Yes, I did restart the config.

      I think I'm on to something though and going to test it shortly. The online documentation doesn't mention this but when I was working with the config file, a more detailed help page came up and it said  something to the effect of the first profile that applies is used. 

      I've changed the config and removed the subnet profile for now. What I'm seeing is that now that the device with the Mac address is using the profile assigned, but no other devices are using any profile and I get the message "This device is not using NextDNS" on all of the other devices. I find this odd because I would think that those devices would be using the 4 profile, but at least it's some sort of progress.

       If you use “nextdns config set help” it will show you that more detailed instructions page again.

      When editing the config file, to save from re-entering detailed info, you can put a hash # in front of the line you want to disable. This will make it be seen as a comment and won’t be applied.
