Just a perspective - 300k DNS queries is not very much. 1 full day of home use + work (most DNS goes over VPN for that) and I am at 130k queries. So you'll get a nice little trial, but don't expect it to last very long, imo
I'm genuinely surprised you've made 130k dns queries in one day.
I've been using NextDNS now for half a year or so and I have 1,021,075 queries in the last 90 days, or roughly ~11k a day. I have ~69k in the past 7 days.
I have this set up on all my devices.
Are you running a home server or something that could explain so many requests?
This. I guess if your router can install their software, and it maintains a local DNS cache, then it'll go further. But without that, it's repeatedly hitting their servers for the same entry, racking up queries.

Nextdns has a cache boost option now which sets TTLs to a minimum of 5mins. If the client is complaint (respects the TTLs), then that should help further.
