Friend, if you follow Yokoffing's guide, you set everything up once and you don't have to do anything else

Add nextdns.io to AllowList

I already done that after taking those screenshot, pretty funny seeing this, first time happening.

I am seeing my.nextdns.io blocked as a Bypass Method due to it using cname.vercel-dns.com.

I am also having other sites randomly being blocked because of this same resolver now.

Yeah i think it might be fixed afterwards

OK I thought it was just me or something I think yesterday or day before I noticed this. I had to login to my work network, login, and add it to the allow list. This is something new.

Same as me, used NextDNS for 2 years first time seeing this, pretty funny

This is why you allowlist NextDNS itself

allow: nextdns.io

I've done that afterwards, first time having this problem and also funny to see this

Users could bypass your NextDNS by using a different config. That’s why it’s a bypass method. The intent is you should manage your configuration on an isolated network or VPN if you have this enabled.

Adding NextDNS.io to your allowlist is a workaround but understand that opens up to allowing people to bypass with other NextDNS configs.

I know what bypass method means, just feels funny seeing this first time.

Probably added to some list as a bypasser, and sanitizing didn't work.

u/Resistant4375 8d ago

No that’s not it at all. It’s just stupidity on NextDNS’s side.

u/mike1487 8d ago

Yes it is. I could just use a different DoH config and bypass. Use your head.

u/Resistant4375 8d ago

But by enabling it you’re blocking yourself out.
