プロジェクトの歴史

NextDNS was founded in May 2019 by Romain Cointepas and Olivier Poitrey. It was positioned as a privacy-oriented, policy-aware DNS service intended to reduce reliance on unencrypted ISP resolvers without further centralizing DNS among only the largest public providers.

The macOS application provides a graphical client for selecting a NextDNS configuration and connecting the system through the service. It coexists with the open-source NextDNS CLI, which targets routers and Unix-like systems while also supporting macOS and Windows.

採用の歴史

NextDNS expanded from a configurable encrypted-DNS service into device and network clients. The official macOS guide presents both a graphical app and the open-source CLI, letting users choose between a menu-bar workflow and a host or router daemon.

The service's device-independent filtering model encouraged use across phones, computers, home networks, and routers: a single profile can control security, privacy, advertising, tracker, and parental-control policies.

使われ方

Install the app, open Preferences, enter the profile's configuration ID as a custom configuration, and connect from the app menu.

Filtering rules, allowlists, denylists, privacy controls, security protections, logs, and parental controls are managed through the associated NextDNS profile.

パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

NextDNS sits between a public recursive resolver and a self-hosted blocker: policy is managed by the service, while clients encrypt DNS traffic and associate it with a configuration profile. The macOS cask packages the simple GUI path; the separately packaged CLI exposes router, cache, split-horizon, and service-management capabilities.
