To each their own. I have over 30 devices on my network and am no where close to 300,000 unique queries but maybe im significantly underestimating the average user.
Considering how many other good free solutions (or non subscription based) there are I tend to doubt paying for the pro version of NextDNS is worth it if you are going over the free limit.

Privacy Guides is a good resources for this.

NextDNS has a free tier. Are you at risk of going over 300,000 queries per month limit? That’s quite a bit for home users.
Even then it still functions as a DNS without blocking.
Out of curiosity, why did you decide on DoT instead of DoH (DNS over HTTPS)?
I’ll answer what I know.
LineageOS doesn’t have anything like sandboxed Google Play. That is a flagship feature of GOS.
It is highly unlikely there is a backdoor in the Pixel. It’s just not worth the risk for Google. Not only are the phones highly scrutinized by experts but Google has a million other legal ways to get info off your phone for 99% of users who use the stock OS.
There really isn’t much comparison.
Graphene only supports Pixels because it is the best phone for hardware security. If you choose to use a different phone you have already accepted a less secure device.
Sandboxed Google Play is going to offer the most compatibility as it allows you to access the main app store in the Android eco system without giving up privileged access to your phone. Devices that use Micro G or regular play store can’t make that claim. Which is a massive privacy issue.
Since Graphene OS works with other launchers there really is not a difference in customizability.
I’d love to be able to say there is a good competitor for GOS but none of the other custom ROMs actually focus on Privacy/Security and most are dishonest about that fact. Divest OS was one of the few other ROMs that was honest about what it was so it was sad when the dev moved on.
I’d also note that threat model matters. Not everyone needs top notch security or privacy. There are good reasons to not use GOS, but better privacy/security isn’t one. The obvious one is opportunity, whether it’s regional or financial, Pixels can be a pain to get.
Its a very popular way to access pirated material via debrid services.
Its not really anything special outside of that use case, which really doesn’t have anything to do with privacy.
What part of it isn’t FOSS? Isn’t the source available on github?
I would be much more concerned with the sources users attach to it, such as real debrid, then I am with Stremio. Not that I would connect any sort of PII to either.
If it has not been regularly audited there is really no reason to trust a vpn provider. Wait until they have some proof they do what they say.
GrapheneOS and Techlore both have solid communities to use to learn about privacy but, there is a ton of intermingling between them and Privacy Guides so you may not like it.
r/privacy is a bit more casual but its mods are terrible and there is a ton of disinformation to sift through.

I would just caution you to make sure the changes you make to Mullvad don’t change its fingerprint otherwise its kind of moot to use it over a privacy configured version of Firefox.

You can at least self host this option. Still a lot of the same privacy issues any type of tracking software is going to have.
I figured it out…
Here is what I did (I am sure there are more efficient ways)
1 - I left the I-am-PUID-0 setup how it is. What I mean is after I went through the guide and got it working I did not change anything to get RDT working.
2 - I created a new docker-compose for RDT that uses the rclone mount from the I-am-PUID-0 guide. I did this because when I had them combined into one compose, RDT would work but Zurg did not. If I have them separated as different docker setups they both work.
2a - Make sure you understand what the Download Path and Mapped Path are in RDT. The Download Path is the path inside the Docker container where files are downloaded. Whereas the Mapped path is the path on your host that is mapped to /data in the container.
My docker compose for RDT is
# version: "3.8"
services:
rdt-client:
image: rogerfar/rdtclient
container_name: rdtclient
stdin_open: true # docker run -i
tty: true # docker run -t
volumes:
- /pd_zurg/mnt:/data # Ensure this matches the pd_zurg mount
environment:
- RCLONE_UID=1000
- RCLONE_GID=1000
- TZ=America/New_York # e.g., "America/New_York"
- DOWNLOAD_DIR=/data/downloads # Specify the download directory
ports:
- 6500:6500
devices:
- /dev/fuse:/dev/fuse:rwm
cap_add:
- SYS_ADMIN
security_opt:
- apparmor:unconfined
- no-new-privileges
restart: unless-stopped
With this setup Zurg is grabbing anything I download from Real Debrid and adding it my Plex server. RDT via Sonarr is grabbing whatever shows I tell Sonarr to download via Torbox. All that has to be done is add the downloads folder as another library in Plex and voila.
I am sure you could configure this to do more, I just wanted an option to grab shows on demand and make use of currently having two active debrid services. My use case is a bit odd and most likely not optimal for most but, hopefully this helps somebody.
Thanks to whoever 🙏😁
I’m a bit surprised that this request is creating so much friction. This to me, is just a run of the mill “help me find a free download of this software” request that shows up all the time here.
I’m not comfortable trying to build this myself. I am happy to just use the inactive Clementine media player this is forked off of if people are really so offended by my request.
I totally understand why the dev wants to be paid, I’m just not going to be the one to do it.
Thanks so much, will let you know once I’m able to get through it (hopefully this week).
The only thing I don’t see here that I was thinking of trying is to integrate in Real debrid via the rdt client. Which seems like it should work basically the same way as it does for Plex on Windows. Any thoughts?
Excited to check this out. I was literally just searching around for something similar as I want to transition from a Plex media server on Windows to a Jellyfin one on Fedora
Such an overused trope and really isn’t relevant with DNS resolvers where there are multiple good and, proven, free options.
Not to mention there are tons of things people pay for and still end up being the product, ISPs being a major culprit.
I always find it ironic and, a bit laughable, to see users make that statement while participating on a free social media platform.
