NextDNS can be bypassed easily

On windows 

I tried the DNS over HTTP but funnily the web-browsers completely bypasses it by default 

So I tried the NextDNS Windows app 

and it does make web-browsers respect the allow or denylists 

But the NextDNS windows  client can be easily shutdown by a standard user, can be disabled, can change the profile id 

I think an locking the settings behind a password or elevating the client to system level so a standard user cannot tamper will be really beneficial for simple SME use cases

    To eliminate the bypass, only a local firewall with corresponding block rules will help. A DNS cannot really help here.
