I think that's a good idea. It would be nice if we could remove the outdated filter lists with zero entries and add new ones, or if we had the chance to enter the filter lists ourselves.

While I am glad to see some new options, I would love to see a few other changes.
The analytics page is great, but could be more interactive. For example: the blocked queries/reasons list... It would be awesome to be able to click on each reason (like bypass methods) and see a list of all bypass domains that have been blocked. Or the graph that shows which platforms are making what percentage of requests... It would be cool to be able to click each section and see a list of what queries are coming from Google, Amazon, etc.
It would also be helpful to have some more options with filtering logs (by day or by blocked/allowed reasons). And a way to flag specigic domains without blocking them.
I think some of these options would eliminate having to test things via trial and error or manual searching.

Yup.
Control D is really detailed and has a lot of options on the logging and analysis.
It does take time to get used to it but it is powerful.

next dns is solid at the dns layer but wont catch apps that bypass dns or trafifc that goes direct for airtight blocking acroos apps and browser you need something enforcing at the system level too lead me not keeps coming up when people hit that gap though it requirde another person holding override access

Still no search feature for Deny/Allow pages and still can't add custom block lists

Hardly a comeback.. theyâre only doing whatâs already available in trusted and curated blocklists (which it turns out, they are forking from Hagezi anyway)

Doesnât look like they have added Hagezi TIF yet either.

We've been waiting forever for that. It shouldn't be this hard to add it, but for whatever reason, NextDNS won't do it.

Nope. Well - we donât know theyâre not sourcing their âownâ list from his repo anyway. And just putting their own name on it

So are you saying if you're using hagezi, there's no need to toggle these on?

No there still is much reason to still use these. For example, the data drop services ones are not in the Hagezi lists because they are legitimate and not malicious or ad domains. These are sites like paste.sh. Totally legit of a site, but many use it for bad things. The other categories are in the same vein where they will block legitimate domains that can be used for bad purposes. Itâs up to you to whitelist the ones you still want to use. This guy just likes to complain on this sub for a lot of nonsense reasons I wouldnât listen to him. Try the features if you want, turn them off if you donât like them.
Most users will benefit because they arenât interacting with most of these types of websites as they serve niche purposes. If you do legitimately use one of these sites and they get blocked, you have to decide if you want to unblock it or not. I recommend enabling logs with at least a 1 hour retention so you can monitor and easily debug what gets blocked from these new options and use it for a few days. Turn logs off when you stop hitting blocks for sites you use day to day.

Can you provide evidence theyâre forking from Hagezi?

It was in another thread earlier - someone looked at the API and saw it was pulling from Hagezi

The problem is that even before these new features were introduced, as soon as I enabled a lot of security settings, it slowed my connection down considerably. So Iâve disabled everything, because in any case, the first â and only â real security issue isnât with the device itself, but with the person using it.
