# Guidelines :bookmark:
|
||
1) Be slightly stricter than only passing the [girlfriend test](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Grandma%20Test). These deviations are documented throughout the guide.
|
||
2) Prevent overblocking by utilizing the [law of diminishing returns](https://pmctraining.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Law-of-Diminishing-Returns-CHART.png) (e.g., using quality but [sane](https://www.privacyguides.org/basics/threat-modeling/) [blocklists](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config#blocklists-1), allowing most [TLDs](https://github.com/yokoffing/NextDNS-Config#block-top-level-domains-tlds-1-2-3-4), etc.).

### Blocklists <sup><sup>[1](https://github.com/nextdns/metadata/tree/master/privacy/blocklists)</sup></sup>
|
||
|
||
Here's a compliation of popular blocklists available in NextDNS:
|
||
- **Balanced:** no breakage; [set-and-forget](https://glosbe.com/en/en/set-and-forget); doesn't interfere with user experience
|
||
- **Strict:** minimal breakage; prioritizes privacy over user experience; allowlist occasionally
|
||
- **Aggressive:** excessive breakage; use on a separate profile to [lockdown isolated devices](https://old.reddit.com/r/nextdns/comments/uqap3n/comment/i8q8alf/?context=3)
|
||
|
||
| Balanced | Strict | Aggressive |

Add these brands according to what devices you use. There's no advantage in adding brands you don't own; however, there’s no disadvantage in adding unused brands either.

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.
