I installed the latest version of the CLI on my ax86 and I’m noticing the router has started to throw unassigned buffer errors and other issues. Then today the CLI stopped working, and had to be reinstalled.

Are there any known issues with NextDNS and Merlin 386.5?
 
No issues at all here with NextDNS CLI on my AX86U with 386.5.
Maybe you can publish your CLI-config (with your settings-ID masked) and a piece from your system-logs when it happens? Are you running lots of other add-ons so free RAM could be the issue?! I remember the NextDNS team recommended setting the cache to 1 MB or disable it for testing.
 
discovery-dns
max-inflight-requests 256
listen localhost:53
cache-max-age 0s
bogus-priv true
config xoxoxox
mdns all
use-hosts true
control /var/run/nextdns.sock
cache-size 10MB
report-client-info true
detect-captive-portals false
hardened-privacy false
timeout 5s
setup-router true
auto-activate false
log-queries false
max-ttl 5s

Fixed the font colour problem for you.
Code:
discovery-dns 
max-inflight-requests 256
listen localhost:53
cache-max-age 0s
bogus-priv true
config xoxoxox
mdns all
use-hosts true
control /var/run/nextdns.sock
cache-size 10MB
report-client-info true
detect-captive-portals false
hardened-privacy false
timeout 5s
setup-router true
auto-activate false
log-queries false
max-ttl 5s
 
The config looks fine and plenty of free RAM. Any clues in the log when it happens?!
Have you tried posting in the NextDNS Support Forum where the NextDNS team hangs around: https://help.nextdns.io/
 
i got hundreds of these:
Mar 11 10:34:46 kernel: jffs2: Error garbage collecting node at 012b8354!
Mar 11 10:34:46 kernel: jffs2: Data CRC c6912414 != calculated CRC bfea9765 for node at 012b8354
Mar 11 10:34:46 kernel: jffs2: read_cache_page() returned error: -5
Mar 11 10:34:46 kernel: jffs2: Error garbage collecting node at 012b8354!

and got many of these about once per hour:

bcm63xx_nand ff801800.nand: unaligned buffer
 
Seems like your JFFS-partition is corrupt. I would try "Format JFFS partition at next boot" under Administration->System, but notice that you will loose settings/add-ons stored there.
The other error with "bcm63xx_nand" seems related to Broadcom and found some other threads with similar errors.
I personally would probably do a full nuke/reset (following L&LD guidelines) if the problems persists, since 386.5 is a quite big update with new GPL 386.46xxx.
