You could be logging all DNS queries of your relatives by a single click of a button? Did you inform them of this possibility, just curious, not judging.


Logging is on by default and per system. So yes, that is definitely possible. The majority of users are my children so I don't feel the need to inform them and the SO was not fully informed other than "tell me if it breaks something".

It's a good question to reflect on though. If I install this at my parents should I tell them. The whole world is monitoring their DNS now and after this only (potentially) me and NextDNS.


Thanks for your reply. I usually cant inform my SO more anyway, simply not understanding the technical limitations or reasons for something, but I do always tell.

I'll be checking out nextDNS for sure, even though its just for seeing what its about etc.
