# 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., [Energized Ultimate](https://github.com/EnergizedProtection/block/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue), [1Hosts Pro](https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts/issues/585), blocking too many [TLDs](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config#block-top-level-domains-tlds), etc.)

<br>
<br> Many NRDs are nefarious while a few are legitimate.
Here's a recent (June 2022) incident of a scam using a NRD ([example](https://old.reddit.com/r/GaySoundsShitposts/comments/vr4fjf/be_gay_do_crime/) | commentary [1](https://old.reddit.com/r/gaybros/comments/vqb2q9/comment/iepjd69/) [2](https://old.reddit.com/r/gaybros/comments/vqb2q9/comment/ieoyygw/)). Another example is social media [account hacks](https://www.boldgrid.com/instagram-influencer-accounts-are-being-hacked-phishing-attacks/) where users click on links in their private messages.
This is marked as disabled because it will cause false positives (see [guideline #1](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config#guidelines)). However, if you are comfortable allowlisting occasionally, **it is strongly encouraged that you enable this**. Selectively add NRDs to your allowlist; and if you add certain ones to your allowlist, **NEVER give sensitive information** to a NRD.

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.
