Let's deep-dive into the recent video I published covering my NextDNS + IVPN configuration - covering mistakes I made, diving deeper into the hole, and directly addressing some of your questions & concerns. Also diving into Windscribe, ProtonVPN, Mullvad, and more.

A few more updates:

• IVPN updated their documentation to be clearer! https://www.ivpn.net/knowledgebase/general/custom-dns/
• Android is actually using DoT, NOT DoH. Though for the purposes of this video this shouldn't impact the takeaways or general concepts.
• NextDNS has an open source CLI tool, though their native clients don't appear to be open source. With that said, we're not trying to use the native clients & I'm not concerned with the server being open source since there's no way for us to verify they're running that code anyway. But definitely a correction for people who desire more of these things.
• Linux & Windows have native DoH options that may work with some of these VPNs. (Didn't test this myself) Thank you to people who are sharing more information regarding this situation, as always - I'm learning more from comments on YouTube than from service's themself, which is really my core complaint here.
