Huge resolved amount of queries

I have Asus router AX4200 and DoT setup in it. PC with Windows 11 Pro. How to prevent this massive resolving of domains, especially *.nist.gov etc.? It's an unbearable call every minute. I have solved the trendmicro. by revoking consent in the router.

 

Thanks.

    Did you put the NextDNS IPv4 addresses in the WAN section? I don’t know anything about your specific router so I can only give you generic advice.

       I have it set up traditionally according to the instructions. DNS NextDNS including DoT.

      Remove the top DNS in your picture, it is not required anyway. Either leave blank or put in another public DNS service (where number of queries isn't a problem).

      I don’t understand this now. I have NextDNS configured in my router primarily because if there are devices in my home network that don’t have NextDNS set up, filtering still happens through the router. If I removed the DNS settings from the router, the entire purpose of NextDNS would be lost, as it wouldn’t be feasible to configure a separate NextDNS account on every device that connects through this router.

      Do you understand why it’s set up in the router, or are you just an AI generating random responses?

      It’s interesting that support doesn’t respond to regular posts at all. I understand that I’d have to pay for an annual subscription just to get their attention as a customer.

      But the issue isn’t about money right now – I just find it completely absurd to waste so many NDS filtering query resources.

      I'm not saying to remove it completely, it is just the top DNS setting. That one is not required for devices connected to your router, because the DNS over TLS option will be used for your devices. Currently it's making all requests from the router itself use NextDNS, which is why you are seeing so many requests for those domains.

      NextDNS staff don't usually reply to setup issues on alternative software/hardware, this is understandable as it could be a massive mine field and could take up a lot of time.

    This is expected behavior when you put any DNS provider on your entire LAN and WAN.
