NextDNS

NextDNS provides a hosted DNS security and privacy service delivered as a cloud software platform. Users route DNS traffic through its resolver network, where the company applies filtering, threat intelligence, policy controls and analytics. Value is created through always-on protection, simple deployment across many devices, and configurable policy management. Revenue comes from converting free users and organisations into recurring paid subscriptions for higher query volumes and organisational use cases.

NextDNS is an independent private company that operates a cloud-based DNS filtering and privacy platform. Its service blocks ads, trackers, malware and malicious domains at DNS level across devices and networks, while also supporting encrypted DNS protocols such as DNS-over-HTTPS and DNS-over-TLS. The platform combines filtering, threat intelligence, parental controls and analytics in a configurable subscription product.

The company makes money through a freemium subscription model. It serves both individual users and organisations, with paid plans for personal use as well as business and education deployments. Its customers are buyers seeking DNS-layer privacy, security and content filtering without deploying heavier endpoint or network security stacks.
