Not at all. NextDNS is just way more advanced. But a pain to setup. It’s filters are nuts.

Thank you! If you want to take your Mulvad game to the next level then add NextDNS to its custom DNS option in Mulvad’s settings.
I refuse to believe they didn’t do this for their benefit. Especially at the price tag. I feel the same about Proton. The minute the government knocks without a warrant they’ll still turn you over.
It’s also like $100 a month.

OuterTube is awesome! I tried it and LOVED its interface. I feel like it had the most fun interface but it crashed a few times on me and Metrolist won out. Then of course, I found ViMusic. I’d try for Outer Tune again but Vi is the only one built to use Piped instances instead of YT Music.
Metrolist is my backup player incase something happens to ViMusic. Metrolist has solid quality and beautiful interface and really stable. But Vi is just perfect. But if Metrolist is working for you then dont fix what isn’t broken.
They’re keeping a more constant one going as a mod all through lite apk’s and 9mod. This one didn’t run so stable for me. Be sure to install the one called clone. Through the Spotify clone app I was linked to the official github for the actual new ViMusic. https://9mod.com/download/spotify-x-gold-43447
Thank you for taking the time to check it out! Signing up for a piped account was tricky for me. Let me grab you the link to register for the instance then sign into that in the settings in ViMusic. Also disable power saving options and if you have issues then enable invincible mode. https://piped.private.coffee/ Took me a while to figure that out and find it. Welcome to true music anonymity!
I don’t believe Harmony is based on Piped. Doesn’t it base off a YT account? I tried it. I tried them all.
Only on github for now.
I don’t believe this is the same original developer. But this is definitely ViMusic and the only one I found that is based on piped account instead of YT.
Catalyst@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•DNSNet: an open-source system wide ad and tracker blocker for Android (no root)0·6 days agoRethink also has Tor built in as a proxy. If you use signal you can change to the open-source Molly and then route Molly through Tor. Then good fucking luck collecting info. Then also good luck having anyone to talk to. But otherwise yes Rethink is better.
Catalyst@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•DNSNet: an open-source system wide ad and tracker blocker for Android (no root)0·7 days agoThis is my favorite app that I never got to use but inspired me to learn how to do DNS configurations to work with traditional VPN’s like Mullvad and iVPN. They have built in DNS filters that are putrid compared to DNSNet. But a DNS can’t run on its own so it casts itself like a VPN so the system runs through it and the DNS then filters the system of trackers. If you don’t think you need this and it’s just Greek then download App Warden and run a scan. That ain’t normal Comrade. Stop normalizing the end. Anyways I strayed. When the DNS casts itself as a VPN it prevents real VPN’s from connecting, leaving your IP vulnerable. No tor, no VPN. So I discovered NextDNS and after a month I learned how to use private DNS in the connection settings of Android to point it to NextDNS and then how to configure the custom DNS option in my VPN (Mulvad) to also point to NextDNS. Then I setup tor in the background. I hope this helps someone skip a month of work and can focus that time on being happy. Sorry I can’t direct you to each step I talked about. It was a LOT of work.
