At home I am using PiHole but "on the road" I also what a good solution like PiHole. So a few days ago I read that NextDNS is a good option and in some cases even better then PiHole. So that is, why I'm now here to get some opiniond from you gals and guys :)

Fwy would recommend it; if you feel you can afford what they charge for their paid usage plan(s).

Fwy has used it for our own house; and it serves as the main DNS resolver for our PFSense box running in forwarding mode. Fwy is however transitioning to PFBlockerNG; and it's own ability to block things via DNS locally; but will still be using NextDNS and probably Adguard's DNS servers as backup/bootstrap resolvers once the plan Fwy has paid for is expired...assuming our house does not vote to keep NextDNS.

Either way; it's only like about $25 a year if I recall correctly. Fwy doesn't hate using NextDNS and it is a very good resolver; with lots of useful controls and portability as well as offering proper encrypted DNS service; which is invaluable on weird networks you may encounter when using cellular service or on the go via WiFi.

Does Fwy usually speak of themselves in third person?

[-] Melody@lemmy.one 1 points 1 week ago

That's not third person; those are specific pronouns that Fwy uses personally.

Lol I bet it's the "dragon person" or "dragon rider" they also always talk in third person
