NextDNS blocking all text/media messages

We just switched phones (S21). When we activated NextDNS it is blocking all our text/media messages. We just get 'sending...' It does it not matter the app (we tried Samsung and Google apps). Is there something we missed in the configuration or new phone setup? This all worked with our last phone (S10)  without any issues and all settings appear the same.

Thanks!

    Have you tried temporarily switching your DNS to Cloudflare or Google to see if you can reproduce the issue on another DNS provider?

    Been trying a few others now for the past week and have had no issues. As soon as I turn Next back on, the problems return.  Grrr.

      Jason Berrang What blocklists do you use? And are you using private DNS or the NextDns app on your phones?

      Ruby Balloon Nothing special setup, just the standard NextDNS app

    I feel like I am having the same issue. I have been looking at my pihole setup thinking that has been the cause of my issues with text messing and wifi calling, but I never thought about nextdns.io as causing the issue.

      John DeCarlo  What was the solution for TMobile? It might help people on other providers.

      Wi-Fi Calling on a corporate network

      Find the technical details to set up a corporate environment for .

      On this page:

       

      Setup

      In a multipurpose network setting, we recommend setting up a specific SSID (secure network) to exclusively segment traffic for Wi-Fi calling.

       

      Security

      Even though voice over Wi-Fi does not require a specific security mechanism or authentication to be put in place in order to work, we recommendation securing the wireless local area network (WLAN) that will be used to carry Wi-Fi calling.

      T-Mobile devices support the WLAN security techniques used in corporate environments for authentication and encryption, such as:

      • WPA (TKIP) - Personal and Enterprise
      • WPA2 (AES-CCMP) - Personal and Enterprise
      • LEAP: TKIP, Dynamic WEP, AES. (No LEAP-CKIP)
      • PEAP
      • EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-FAST, EAP-SIM, and EAP-AKA
      • Virtual private network (VPN) access security
      • Media Access Control (MAC) lists
      • Service-specific access security
      • Captive portal

       

      EAP

      EAP-FAST (if available) is the recommended EAP type for use of VoWLAN deployments.

      Make sure you unblock port 500. 4500 and 5061. You may have to do port forwarding for these ports. Depends on your router.

      Also in your firewall on your router allow 208.54.0.0  255.255.128.0
