DNS Profile "ignored" in iOS 14.4 Hi, I have been using a DNS profile (NextDNS) for some time. Yesterday I realized that, even while the profile was installed and selected and there were no changes to it, the DNSs were those of my ISP, not the ones specified in the profile. This is how it looks like: A reboot of the device seemed to fix the issue, but there was no disconnection, I was at home using the same WiFi that I always use, didn't switch to mobile data (I have it turned off while at home) or got any error or notification (e.g.: profile is expired?). Any hints on where can I start my troubleshooting? I'm using iOS 14.4 on an iPhone 12 Pro Max. I'm not using VPNs, and my device is not subject to any MDM. I downloaded the profile, installed it, and that has been it. Thank you!

Data Drain What is DNS Services, what does it do on iPhone 7, and why does it use so much data? Always at or around the top of my System Services Data Usage record.
