Status Indicator - test.nextdns.io

Hello,

Recently setup nextdns for ad blocking and whatnot. Using a Unifi Cloud Gateway Ultra and was able to get it connected using the CLI application/installer, though the status at the top of my profile keeps changing between red, yellow, and green. When I check test.nextdns.io, it sometimes shows "OK," but if I refresh it, it sometimes shows "unconfigured." What could be going on? I have my phone connected via DoH, which woks fine, but everything using my router keeps telling me that it is trying to use cloudflare. I also noticed that these devices seem to keep YouTube in restricted mode despite that not being turned on. Again, my phone does not have that issue. Could this be a symptom of the same thing?

    Fixed it. Once I removed the content filter via Cybersecure>Content Filter in the Unifi router, it started working. It has something to do with the new Unifi Network App update from last week.

    For reference, there is a better way, cited by Mike V on some other posts. 

    "Simply go to your NextDNS account > Setup > Router and scroll down to DNSCrypt. Copy the server name (NextDNS-yourid) and stamp (sdns://...) and paste them into the Unifi Encrypted DNS settings in Settings > CyberSecure > Protection."
