On the phone, an Android, I use the Private DNS function and just leave it permanently on.
On my browsers, Firefox, I configure the DNS over HTTPS function to use the NextDNS endpoint.
On my fixed home network I use the IPs for NextDNS as the DNS on my router.
On my laptops, I configure https://github.com/getdnsapi/stubby on Mac, Windows and Linux... but TBH, 99% of my traffic comes from browsers so mostly I care about those.
I'm not using the NextDNS app at all... I dunno, I don't see the point in running processes I don't need and DNS is a very lightweight thing so why run an app. You can if you want, I just don't see the point.
