DNS switch after reaching 300k requests

[tratek]

Hi,
The free plan in Adguard & NextDNS is limited to 300k requests only.
Is there a way in AMTM/Merlin to use a dynamic DNS switch so that after reaching 300k requests in Adguard it switches to use the NextDNS?
Regards,

OpenDNS has free OpenDNS Home plan with custom filtering categories and no limit.

Last time I tested it was blocking ads as well without disturbing usual Internet activities too much.

Or just run AdGuard home locally? That's what I do, never have to worry about the total number of queries

I did some quick math using my household DNS daily queries. If I used AdGuard and NextDNS with a total of 600,000 free queries, those would last me maybe 22 days. Then I would need to switch to something else but what?

While NextDNS is $20 per year and AdGuard is $40 per year, I find it more to my feeling of security to use Cloudflare Security via a Pi-Hole with their standard blocking list and a couple of outers for malware, phishing and scam. A RPI 3b+ can be had for around $40 and with Pi-Hole installed will run for pennies a month.

As for OpenDNS, I had problems with it not resolving valid web sites. Went back to Cloudflare Security!
