A disadvantage here is that you can't identify your device in the logs, because that's not possible with IPv6. In the Viscosity networking tab, just enter your IPv6 NextDNS endpoint as shown on your NextDNS setup page. The second option is to use Viscosity's custom DNS settings without the NextDNS app or profile active.
So no matter which side drops the connection, there is no sequence to consider, it just works together.
If the NextDNS or profile become active again, they will override the pushed VPN DNS. If the NextDNS app or profile become inactive, the pushed VPN DNS will be used in Viscosity. The active NextDNS app or profile will work without switching it off and on again. Here, compared to the provider app option mentioned above, VPN connection drops and reconnects won't result in issues. The first option is to just use Viscosity together with the NextDNS app or profile. The Viscosity app is an OpenVPN client that can be used with OpenVPN config files that most providers offer for downloading. This option can lead to some unexpected behaviors that will have to be tested for the specific VPN service/app in use. This can override the VPN DNS, but if the VPN connection drops and reconnects, the VPN DNS will be used from this point on. Sometimes however it works to just enable the VPN connection first and then to enable the NextDNS connection afterwards (via app or activating the profile). Most VPN apps/providers obviously push their own DNS servers to prevent leaks, this is expected. If it has the same features, it probably works there too.) (EDIT: Viscosity is available on Windows as well, but I haven't tested it.
#Viscosity vpn client. for mac#
Here are my experiences of this for Mac and iOS with several working options. There are many posts of people trying to use VPNs and NextDNS together, but this usually doesn't work well.
