NextDNS changelog nextdns.io

If you are experiencing network latency issue to NextDNS servers, we just released a diagnostic tool to help you submit key measurements that will help us improve our network.

You can find the instructions at https://nextdns.io/diag.

Earlier this week, researchers from UC Riverside and Tsinghua University announced a new type of DNS cache poisoning attack named SAD DNS. The attack is very sophisticated and hard to reproduce on real life systems. We deployed at mitigation on all NextDNS servers to fully protect our users against such attack, one would succeed to run it.

The mitigation consists of disabling the sending of ICMP port unreachable packets on unicast IPs facing authoritative DNS servers. This change does not affect user-facing anycast IPs, is totally transparent and effectively blocks this type of attack.

Introducing Recreation Time — only allow some websites, apps and games during a specific time period each day of the week.

E.g., only allow Facebook, YouTube, Twitch and Fortnite on Wednesdays and Fridays between 6:30pm and 8pm, and on Saturdays and Sundays between 1pm and 8pm.
