Hello, Im trying to monitor & control my dns in my network. I like the idea & features of nextdns but all your traffic goes trough them right? I wanna host something simular. I currently have pi-hole installed but i feel like its not as advanced as something like nextdns. What service could i use for this? Thanks for your time!

all your traffic goes through them right?

Wrong. DNS just resolves hostnames to IP addresses and a few other small things. None of your web traffic will go through your DNS provider.
