NextDNS installation issue

[amanajosh]

Can anyone help me with how to change my DNS server? I use NextDNS and each time I use Terminal and make the needed changes, I can't seem to get to it work.

I have been having trouble getting NextDNS to operate on Linux Mint.

I tried Command Line Client

Under NextDNS Command-Line Client, keeps giving me this:

Code: Select all

What does this mean?

On Terminal, NextDNS status keeps saying: 'not installed'

On NextDNS webpage: keeps saying that I am either active or using another resolver or something (I do have a VPN in use)

I try putting the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on network settings. It's not working

The ultimate test to see whether it works is whether access to pornography is blocked outright and each time I use Tor, it never seems to work.

What else did I do?
Went on Terminal, followed this procedure:
NextDNS Command-Line Client
Ran the following command:

Code: Select all

sh -c $(curl -sL https://nextdns.io/install)

Nothing is working...
