On: Use NextDNS everywhere you use Tailscale

[bradfitz]

There was engineering work on both sides for us to launch this. I did much of the Tailscale side.

https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/2452 links to all the client commits.

There was also a lot of control plane stuff to let you specify config for different NextDNS profiles per tags/groups/users/etc.

And NextDNS improved some things on their side too, especially around passing device info to them.

And then, yes, we publicized it after working on it. And closed that bug.

Is there any info on how it interacts with Magic DNS?

[bradfitz → cprecioso]

No different than the interaction between MagicDNS & any other upstream DNS (Google, Cloudflare, your own, etc).

The built-in resolver at 100.100.100.100 handles the *.your-tailscale-suffix names in your tailnet and the rest that doesn't match goes upstream. Basically.
