Switching from Cloudflare DNS to NextDNS.

And probably other stuff too, but I don't remember.

Nah swap to dns.adguard.com . Has all the benefits and built in ad/tracker blocking.

Whats the reason that made you move away from cloudflare?

NextDNS gives me more control. It can do stuff like ad blocking, tracker blocking and rewrites (same as /etc/hosts). It has many blocklists available.

Disadvantage is limit of 300,000 DNS queries/month on the free account, but it's enough for personal use.

However, where DoT or DoH isn't available, I still use 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare).
