Homebridge Plugin for NextDNS

A Homebridge plugin for NextDNS that leverages the NextDNS API to toggle preferences. This was initially created because I wanted to be able to block and unblock certain sites at the DNS level via HomeKit (e.g. "Siri, turn off 'Reddit Block'")

Currently this only supports configuring a list of domains that you want to be able to quickly deny/undeny via the Denylist.

Installation

npm install -g homebridge-nextdns or search for nextdns in the homebridge ui.

Configuration

• apiKey: Get this from https://my.nextdns.io/account
• profileID: Get this from https://my.nextdns.io/{PROFILE_ID}/setup when logged in.
• blockedDomains: Array of domain names to block (e.g. reddit.com)

Future ideas

• Allowlist toggles
• Blocklist toggles
• Security and Privacy toggles

Publishing Beta Versions

You can publish beta versions of your plugin for other users to test before you release it to everyone.

# create a new pre-release version (eg. 2.1.0-beta.1)
npm version prepatch --preid beta

# publish to @beta
npm publish --tag beta

Users can then install the beta version by appending @beta to the install command, for example:

sudo npm install -g homebridge-nextdns@beta
