NextDNS

The pick for blocking everywhere without running any hardware. Point a phone, laptop or router at your NextDNS profile and every app using it gets the same ad and tracker blocklists, updated in real time; on the router, that reaches smart TVs that take their DNS from it. Native Tracking Protection adds lists aimed at trackers built into devices. The real-time logs are the quiet winner: when a housemate's app breaks, you can find the blocked domain and allow it. The free plan covers 300,000 queries a month, which a busy household can pass; after that it keeps resolving like an ordinary DNS service, without blocking. The paid Pro plan lifts that cap for a small monthly or yearly fee; both plans cover unlimited devices.
