DNS Connection and Filtering was gone for a whole day
Today I went on to use my phone normally. (Instagram, Tiktok, Netflix, you know) But I have one app that contains ads. A football app. When I'm connected with NextDNS I dont see ads but I did. So thats why I went to my dashboard and checked it out.
And it said, that my device isn't connected to NextDNS. Im using the Private Dns feature from Android. And normally it would say something like "No internet connection, cant connect to DNS provider". But this time, it didnt. So there was no error on the client side, but on NextDNS. (Probably)
And when i looked into my Protocols, I saw that NextDNS didnt got any DNS requests from me, the whole day. And even more bizzarr was that the the order of the dns protocols was/is mixed up.
And the newest protocols are from 20 mins ago.
Am I the only one having this issue?
Is there maybe a way to get notified when Im not connected to NextDNS? Or at least something? I dont want to check my dashboard all the time to know, if im connected or not...

Or even right now: The website says: "This device uses NextDNS without configuration.
Make sure the DNS-over-TLS endpoint shown below is used."
My phone didnt gave me a notification saying, that it couldn't connect to NextDNS. Ad-blocking doesn't work right now.
So what is the issue here?

Ok i got the issue. So when using DNS over TLS, i added my device's name to the url. (For example: "Iphone11-xxxxx.dns.nextdns.io") when using this, nextdns gives me the error above (that im connected without a configuration)
But without the device name in the DoT url, it works normally.
Please fix this issue

Not everything is about the OS. People were using NextDNS or other encrypted DNS providers before the OS's included ways to set it up.
I don't know what is going on with your device, sometimes I scratch my head with my own problems, but one thing is sure, the chances of being something wrong with NextDNS are almost zero. I using it since beta and the DNS servers always work. There were other kind of rare issues.
Some implementations ask for the the complete link for encrypted DNS, for example:
quic://DeviceID-ProfileID.dns.nextdns.io tls://DeviceID-ProfileID.dns.nextdns.io https://(doh3.)dns.nextdns.io/ProfileID/DeviceID
Some problems can be with the devices, some don't support encrypted DNS, if you have the issue with an android phone you can try the NextDNS app, it uses DoH. This will prevent you from using most VPN, if you use one. Some devices provided by the ISP don't allow you to change the DNS, or worse, it looks like you can but it ignoring it. You can't install the nextdns.io/CLI on all devices... For this situation you can buy /use your own router...
There are other apps, Nebulo, Intra, etc. I personally use AdGuard app in which I can use DoH, DoT, DoQ. You can look at the link from my profile or read my previous posts here. You can use the search function to look for posts about Nebulo etc.
In some cases the problem is with the internet provider which is blocking the DoT. Using another protocol might work.
