+100 for NextDNS. Happy paying customer here.

Aside from it just working, their mobile client is a fantastic thing. When I am off wifi, my phone routes DNS to NextDNS and I get the same adblocking when I am on cellular data.

Me too, my Android / Samsung phone has a "Private DNS"[1] setting where I specify my NextDNS instead of using their mobile app.

For those who prefer Pi-Hole, I set up a VPN server on my PfSense so my devices can use the DNS server in my home network when I'm out. The fact that traffic is encrypted is a nice bonus.

I do this on a symmetrical 500Mbit fiber line, YMMV.

Sounds good, are they selling your queries?

Don't think they are, but if you're after privacy, of course it isn't strictly better than self-hosting AdGuard Home or Pi-Hole.

As one ex, not me but some may be uncomfortable with their use of BigCloud (AWS/GCP/Cloudflare) infrastructure.
