Does Yogadns intercept dns traffic?

Running the client on windows I noticed that dns traffic goes to yoga.dns.nextdns.io before it goes to my nextdns id.

The yogadns website has no privacy policy page how am i supposed to trust this client?

    If the domain is really "yoga.dns.nextdns.io" as you reported, isn't that domain owned by NextDNS?

      Rob No records were found in icann lookup

      No registry RDAP server was identified for this domain.

      MSA There’s indeed not much info in the database (redacted):

      https://www.whois.com/whois/nextdns.io

      However, since you configure NextDNS on my.nextdns.io the chances that nextdns.io is owned by NextDNS are extremely high.

    Don't worry @msa
    That's just a subdomain, and a way for NextDNS to direct specific responses to the tool Yoga.
    They also have the subdomain apple.dns.nextdns.io for instance. Have a look in your logs when you run ping.nextdns.io or test.nextdns.io (they are also subdomains)
