It apprears that NextDNS has removed No Google, No Facebook, and other blocklist without notifying users. One person said the NSA blocklist was also down. The company had made no responses to complaints on the community server when I checked earlier. Crickets…
I noticed Android and Linux being unable to access the app and web interface to confirm connections, starting some time on November 4th. I was able to switch DNS providers on Android and switch back, after which NextDNS seemed to work. On Linux however, systemd confirmed it was enabled but it went right to google’s webpage with no block.
If you’re on NextDNS, go check your domain filters ASAP. I switched to RethinkDNS, and it’s been decent so far. What is everyones preferred solution?
My Pihole couldn’t reach all the old NextDNS blocklists I subscribe to a few days ago. Makes sense now.
Bummer! Thanks for the heads up.
We should be able to manually enter them all. We should save them while we still can.
I just fork all the repos of lists I use in github and created a repo for my personal blocklist and blacklist and have my AGH pull from those. That way they keep updated, if one of them fucks up I can always go back a version (same thing if any of them disappear). It’s been working great.
Might want to use Codeberg or Disroot since MS owns github. I can’t see jack in github presently with all the outages.
I swear if I was an MS employee who had been laid off, I’d ask for a 100% raise to be hired back on as a consultant and with a 5 year contract.
Yeah, for my own projwcts I use codeberg and gitlab, but for easy of maintaining the forks I keep the lists on github. I do keep them mirrored on codeberg as well, but I’ve been too lazy to change the URLs in my AGH lately.
I need to follow your suggestion and get it done, for sure.
