Temporarily disable filtering

While there are workarounds for this, the inability to disable all NextDNS filtering with the click of a button in the web UI is the one thing holding me back from fully committing to NextDNS and attempting to convince all of my friends and family to use it as well. 

Created an account specifically to vote for this. Unfortunately NextDNS is unusable for me without this feature.

Is there a way to vote for this feature request officially? 

Yes, this is a much needed option. Please implement this.

Please give us this feature!

Yes this is HIGHLY needed. I use NextDNS CLI on my Firewalla and the only UI way to bypass NextDNS is to start a VPN on my computer so that NextDNS is bypassed. I should not need to do that. NextDNS needs some type of bypass feature, be it at the device level or global.

Des nouvelles sur l'avancée de cette fonctionnalitée, on l'attends avec impatiente @nextdns !!

Possible Solution: Add wildcard (*) to override any rules, for example to allow any .com domains, enter (*.com) to the allowlist which will override all denylist rules which should fix all websites for most people (add country specific domains as required).

I really hope this is going to be implemented. Few levels of 'pause' would be perfect:

1) Pause all functionality (clear state)

2) Pause privacy/security/etc. features

3) Pause usage of certain blocklists individually

Also a reminder on the main page that something is paused would be perfect too.

Maybe even an option to pause temporarily: with a timeout (15 min, 1 hour) or until the specific datetime (until tomorrow 2:00 PM).

So it's 2023 now. It's been years. Is this on the roadmap?

It would be great to disable filtering per device and/or disable filtering for X amount of time.

I have installed two profiles on each of my devices (iPhone/iPad/MacBock,...). A profile has all filters activated a second profile only a few security features. 

In order to temporarily deactivate the NextDNS filter, I can therefore switch the profiles accordingly in the device settings or thus switch off the filter.

Unfortunately, this is a bit cumbersome on a MacBook, for this I'm looking for a faster switch... if anyone has an idea how to change the filters of the network faster?

On my iPhone/iPad I created a shortcut on my home screen that takes me very quickly to the right settings, that's ok.

 

+1.

I use the NextDNS apps on macOS and iOS, which just have "enable" and "disable" functions. I would love it if they had "disable for 5 minutes" (or a few time options, as suggested above).

I occasionally need to disable for a one-off website to make a purchase or something, and often forget to re-enable. This would be a huge help.

Any update on this request?

+1. Being able to isolate issues quickly is a staple of using Pi-hole / uBlock Origin

+1.

Also the ability to turn it off for one device would be cool.

I found this app to be a lifesaver, but it requires a one time ADB command:

3 yeaaaars??? Comooon guys

While this would be useful for cases where you manually set the dns field to the nextdns one, I think if you use nextdns app or iOS profile for example, you can just disable the nextdns profile.  That is what I do for  my windows pc or iOS device which then allows me to default to my isp dns. 

This is a really needed feature. Don't forget that there are users (e.g. kids) who can't just turn filtering off.

I don't think anyone is asking for a button to turn all filtering off, just to temporarily disable the privacy filters (as those are the ones which can break links/sites).

My wife and I can do this (somewhat clumsily) by signing into my.nextdns.io and removing the block list from the Privacy tab (and then adding it back when done), but for obvious reasons, that's not something I'm going to give my kids the ability to do - they need a way of doing it from the app.
