User documents NextDNS setup for network-wide privacy

Original: Privacy starts before the webpage loads. I've documented my NextDNS setup: separate Home and Mobile profiles, OISD + HaG

A detailed walkthrough of a personal NextDNS configuration is drawing attention in privacy-focused circles. The setup uses separate Home and Mobile profiles, combining the OISD and HaGeZi Multi PRO blocklists with threat detection enabled, while DNS query logging is turned off. The author stresses the aim is not complete anonymity but cutting unwanted connections, arguing that privacy protections should begin at the DNS level, before any webpage is loaded.

Why now: Growing public concern over online tracking is driving interest in practical DNS-level privacy setups.
