This seems to work no matter where I select my vpn. In advanced settings, I enable ipv6, use wireguard tunnel protocol, and use a custom DNS, I enter nextdns ipv6 (Make sure no vpn is running, you want your IP to be linked.) I then change the dns settings in my wired settings, ipv4 and 6 both get the nextdns ips and I disable automatic config for each. I like learning with a fresh install of OS and updates with no other cconfig settings. What I have learned so far: that seems to work. I could use a little help with context on how NextDNS works with VPN's specifically Mullvad and how the different ways I can configure or connect them? I appreciate any help folks!

The way I had it previously, NextDNS was working no matter when I change the VPN server. I am using Wireguard with manual DNS in Mullvad and then NextDNS works fine. (I had installed NextDNS into the machine and managed the settings and configuration in the Portal. I had this setup before but, cannot recall how I managed to get it to work. But when I change server, I have to re link my IP.

But NextDNS is working through my VPN settings and being that I link my IP in the portal.ĭoes it matter what is installed and configured first from a fresh OS install and OS upgrade? (Mullvad then NextDNS vs NextDNS then Mullvad)įrom what I can see, my VPN works when I configure NextDNS through the web portal. Thanks for any help! I have not installed NextDNS into my machine. I am having some trouble understanding how I should configure my settings to ensure NextDNS is always working with my VPN, primarily where I do not have to log into NextDNS portal to link my IP after changing VPN server.
