Hi
I am newbie with NextDNS . I am trying to see if there is away to use a VPN with NextDNS in iOS
If so please recommend me which one works best
Tailscale with mullvad as exit node paired with nextdns directly settled in the admin page
IVPN works very well with NextDNS on my iOS device.
Mulvad lets you do change the DNS servers manually. But for whatever reason the ipv4 DNS does not work you have to use the ipv6 DNS.
IVPN is the only one that supports DoH I believe, so that’s the one to go for
The best way I found was to download a WireGuard config file from your VPN provider and load into the iOS WireGuard app. Delete the DNS server and leave it blank. Then use the app DNSecure to connect to NextDNS using DOH and your config ID. The advantage is you’ll still be on nextdns when disconnected from the VPN too.
Passepartout VPN client is a good one, but the custom DNS feature is a $10 one-time purchase. It supports many vpn configs (OpenVPN, Wireguard) and also many VPN providers.
They both fall under the VPN title, so you can not use them together, unless your VPN provider allows you to use NextDNS or if you are using Tailscale through their magicDNS you can use your NextDNS config by just adding one or two of your ipv6 addresses on your setup page.
PIA VPN allows it but cautions that routing your DNS to a third party may compromise your privacy.
Proton allows custom dns
On Windscribe VPN you can download a profile for WireGuard and then modify the DNS to NEXDNS
On iOS? How do you do it?
You can set up custom DNS with Proton VPN by using the Passepartout app
