I want to setup NextDNS on my devices as I like their ad blocking and other features, but I also use ProtonVPN and know that's a problem. ProtonVPN doesn't support CustomDNS very well and only support IPv4 instead of IPv6, which is the better option. I know they prefer you use their DNS service, but I think the pros of NextDNS outweigh the cons for me. Is there a better way to set NextDNS with ProtonVPN?
