# Guidelines
|
||
1) Must pass the [girlfriend test](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Grandma%20Test), but with a few exceptions. These deviations are documented throughout the guide.
|
||
2) Follow the [law of diminishing returns](https://pmctraining.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Law-of-Diminishing-Returns-CHART.png) by not overblocking (e.g., using [Energized Ultimate](https://old.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/v0wwjf/does_energized_ultimate_blocklist_contain/iak0a79/) or [1Hosts Xtra](https://old.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/vz9kla/at_last_nextdns_added_the_1host_xtra/ig7fkia/?context=3), restricting too many [TLDs](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config#block-top-level-domains-tlds-1-2-3-4), etc.).

Forked from the [crssi](https://github.com/crssi/NextDNS-Config#readme) config. Some inspiration came from the [scafroglia93](https://github.com/scafroglia93/nextdns-setting/blob/master/nextdns-setting.txt) config while other ideas are my own.
