NextDNS is a personalized DNS nameserver, that can be used to increase the security of your network by blocking malicious domains, block ads and trackers, and limit the browsing experience for your kids. It’s basically a App iconAdguard Home or App iconPi-Hole in the cloud.

App iconTailscale can uses NextDNS through MagicDNS with DNS over HTTPS (DoH).

  • Create an account and profile on https://my.nextdns.io/
  • Copy your ID from the dashboard
  • Go on Tailscale admin panel > Settings
  • Under MagicDNS add a new nameservers with NextDNS
  • Put your NextDNS ID
  • That’s it !

NextDNS offer DNS Rewrites. Go to your panel > settings > Rewrites. Here I’ve added a rewrites for all my domains pointing to my reverse proxy’s Tailscale IP.

Replaced with App iconAdguard Home because I didn’t want to pay for DNS anymore…
