NextDNS Inc. is an American cloud-based DNS resolver that offers content filtering and security features, aiming to provide users with control over their internet traffic.[1][2][3][4]
History
[edit]NextDNS was founded in May 2019 in Delaware, USA, by French entrepreneurs Olivier Poitrey, who co-founded Dailymotion in 2005, and who currently serves as the Director of Engineering at Netflix, overseeing Open Connect, responsible for 30% of US internet traffic, and Romain Cointepas, who led Dailymotion's mobile and TV department. Together, they established NextDNS.[5]
Privacy enhancements arrived shortly after in August 2019, with the implementation of a modified version of EDNS0 Client Subnet (ECS).[6] This modification aimed to bolster user privacy by safeguarding the privacy of DNS queries. November 2019 saw a further focus on user protection as NextDNS added the ability to block trackers utilizing the CNAME cloaking technique.[7]
Mozilla partnership & growth
[edit]In December 2019, NextDNS achieved a notable milestone as Mozilla declared it a Recursive Resolver (TRR) within the Firefox browser.[8] This integration came to fruition in February 2020 when NextDNS was officially included as an optional DoH provider in Firefox 73, offering users a choice alongside the default Cloudflare resolver.[8] In April 2020, NextDNS expanded its focus on user control by introducing log storage options across multiple jurisdictions, including the United States, European Union, and Switzerland.[9][10]
NextDNS reviews in press
[edit]Techradar "NextDNS review":
We’ll recommend NextDNS to anyone who wants a good DNS resolver, but mostly to privacy-conscious people. It provides excellent features for a very affordable price compared to the competition.[11]
ZDNET "How to secure your home and office network: The best DNS blockers and firewalls":
If you can have only one solution, because you or your friends or loved ones cannot afford a hardware-based firewall device, look no further than NextDNS, which combines an encrypted VPN traffic tunnel with a hosted firewall and DNS blocking and filtering service.[12]
