Hi,

on the nextdns website, we can see that:

Identify your devices
Follow the instructions below to identify your devices in Analytics and Logs.
DNS-over-TLS/QUIC
Prepend the name to the provided domain (the name should only contain a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and -). Use -- for spaces.
For "John Router", you would use John--Router-ee6135.dns.nextdns.io as your DNS-over-TLS endpoint.
DNS-over-HTTPS
Append the name to the provided URL (the name should be URL encoded).
For "John's Firefox", you would use https://dns.nextdns.io/ee6135/John's%20Firefox as your DNS-over-HTTPS endpoint.

IF I want to using Quic or http3 with dnsproxy or adguard,

if my ID is : 12345, what would be my address?

here some choices;

h3://dns.nextdns.io/12345/<device name>/

12345.dns.nextdns.io

https://dns.nextdns.io/12345

John--Router-12345.dns.nextdns.io

thanks

on Glinet currently there is two options for NextDNS device identification:

  1. GL.inet built-in GUI method in the Network>DNS>Encrypted DNS>TLS>NextDNS>your-NextDNS-ID "you can name your device as to my screenshot example".

DoT: John--Router-12345

NOTE: GL.inet built-in GUI method only support DoT "DNS ovet TLS" currently as of v4.7.1

  1. For DoH, DoQ, DoH3 "DNS over http3". the only option currently is to use AdGuard home. I have tried both DoH, DoH3 and they are working. to name your device:

DoH3 in AdGuard: h3://dns.nextdns.io/12345/device%20name
use %20 for space
For "John's Firefox", you would use h3://dns.nextdns.io/ee6135/John's%20Firefox
DoH:
https://dns.nextdns.io/ee6135/John's%20Firefox
