NextDNS Inc. is an American cloud-based DNS resolver that offers content filtering and security features, aiming to provide users with control over their internet traffic.^[1]^[2]

History edit

NextDNS was founded in May 2019 in Delaware, USA, by French entrepreneurs Olivier Poitrey, who co-founded Dailymotion in 2005, and who currently serves as the Director of Engineering at Netflix, overseeing Open Connect, responsible for 30% of US internet traffic, and Romain Cointepas, who led Dailymotion's mobile and TV department. Together, they established NextDNS.^[3]

Privacy enhancements arrived shortly after in August 2019, with the implementation of a modified version of EDNS0 Client Subnet (ECS).^[4] This modification aimed to bolster user privacy by safeguarding the privacy of DNS queries. November 2019 saw a further focus on user protection as NextDNS added the ability to block trackers utilizing the CNAME cloaking technique.^[5]

Mozilla partnership & growth edit

In December 2019, NextDNS achieved a notable milestone as Mozilla declared it a Recursive Resolver (TRR) within the Firefox browser.^[6] This integration came to fruition in February 2020 when NextDNS was officially included as an optional DoH provider in Firefox 73, offering users a choice alongside the default Cloudflare resolver.^[6] In April 2020, NextDNS expanded its focus on user control by introducing log storage options across multiple jurisdictions, including the United States, European Union, and Switzerland.^[7]^[8]
