Hi all just wishing to seek advice.
After rewatching Henry’s video on NextDNS I thought I would give it a go and I am loving the control that NextDNS gives you.
I am wanting to know if there’s any guides that any NextDNS users use or have used to further block telemetry and how to get the most out of the service?
I have looked at the guide referenced by Henry in the video and found some further iOS telemetry to block but wonder if there’s anything more I can be doing?
On desktop, yes, I agree as we have extension support but on mobile, I partially agree. In Brave, we have a built-in ad/tracker blocker and for Firefox, we can install UBO but on browsers like Mulch/Vanadium, we don’t have that extension support and the users who use these will have to use DNS-based ad/tracker blocking.
@anon14374477 that’s sounds like a great idea. I’ve seen recently that on iOS it does allow you to see what domains your apps have connected to via the privacy report.
Which is helpful on a busy network.
A further question if you don’t mind me asking is there a way to identify unnamed domains? For instance as I check the aforementioned privacy report I see some domain names are just listed as ::ffff:24.221.78.26
That’s just a randomly typed example.
But whatever this connects to I can not put it in the deny list, as it’s not actually the domain name.
@rollsicecream I agree. Any computer I use even work ones I also try and stick ublock on.
It’s more the telemetry I’m trying to target that doesn’t need to go out phoning home.
@cwsoel Yeah that’s the guide Henry used, was quite useful had some extra iOS telemetry that didn’t seemed to be cover by the standard blocking by NextDNS.
