New NextDNS blocklists look dumb.

How is this even possible? I thought Youtube and Reddit ads are impossible to block via a DNS filter.

I don’t know where you found those lists, but on their site they still say it’s not possible to block YT ads.

Just checked on the IOS app they’re in the list of blocklist

Just gave it a shot, and seems to work just fine.

I just wish I knew why the site was down for a week. I had to use a backup DNS for a few hours and when I tried to switch back to NextDNS it actually worked.

Edit: Just had a major DNS leak. Google came right up while NextDNS was active. I guess I’m switching now. This didn’t just start after election day when it was fine for a few years.
