# Guidelines
1) Must pass the "[girlfriend test](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Grandma%20Test)".
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), blocking too many [TLDs](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config#block-top-level-domains-tlds), etc.).

<br>
<br>Blocking NRDs will cause false positives [occasionally](https://old.reddit.com/r/InternetIsBeautiful/comments/w2wdro/comment/iguvg8y/?context=3); however, if you are comfortable allowlisting, it is **strongly encouraged** that you enable this. Add NRDs to your allowlist selectively; and if you do, **NEVER** give sensitive information to a NRD.
