How are these people making money? They are doing me a fantastic service and I haven’t given them any money.
DNS is cheap to operate and so the margins are good. Meaning as long as you can get some small % to pay, you can actually make a profit even whilst some large % aren't paying.
I'm paying. But then... my house, phone and car are together doing more than 1.4M DNS requests per month.
But that's only slightly profitable for them... it's the business plan that pays, that and their education plan.

I'm paying as well. My phone by itself uses up more than half of the free monthly tier.
They also have corporate and educational plans which seem pretty cheap so I imagine could do well once they're a bit more established.

Been using NextDNS happily thanks for the recommendation. Works nicely. Only had issue with the Planetx website not working with my settings. Otherwise haven’t noticed it which is nice.

I’m reading a book about the CIA and it’s various front organisitions at the moment and it occurred to me this is exactly the sort of thing a state actor could set up to gain access to information. Not that I’m suggesting NextDNS are sketchy just that I didn’t know how they made there money. Is it donations or commercial work or a future plan to start charging once enough users are on board.
