Thanks for this!!

Do they have any “tools” to temporarily allow some blocked content from a device? Or does one have to go to web and adjust the profile?

It doesn't have the "pause" button, like pi-hole has. But I just check the logs and see why it was blocked, and then whitelist (if needed).

This is false. My NextDNS clients on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS devices all feature a Disable toggle that stops all blocking and allows un-blocked DNS resolution.

I don't use Windows at home, but I imagine there is a similar toggle.

Looks like there is a way to “pause” NextDNS. To have this ability, you have to set it up via their App and not the (recommended) configuration profile. Then you will gain a simple app with Enable/Disable toggle.
