## What it is
A community-maintained setup guide with recommended configuration settings for NextDNS, a DNS-over-HTTPS filtering service. It covers security, privacy, and blocklist settings with rationale to balance protection against overblocking.

## Use cases
- configure nextdns for privacy and ad blocking
- best nextdns settings guide
- recommended dns blocklists to avoid overblocking
- set up dns-over-https filtering for my network
- block ads and trackers at the dns level
- harden nextdns security settings
- alternative to pihole blocklists

## When to choose
- you use NextDNS and want curated, reasoned settings
- you want a balance between blocking ads/trackers and avoiding false positives
- you want guidance comparable to a tuned Pi-hole setup

## When to avoid
- you need software to install rather than a configuration guide
- you want a fully hands-off default configuration
- you need offline or self-hosted DNS filtering without a NextDNS account
