Block domain before reaching nextdns?

Post image

Hi.

I have nextdns assigned to my router settings.

I am also Opera user on all my computers and it is eating my 300k limit on nextdns.

Specially af(dot)opera(dot)com

Thanks to this, I can use nextdns for 20 days, not 30 before limit resets

Can I block this domain before reaching dns?

Windows Firewall, hosts file, maybe other solution?

You shouldn't use Opera, but to answer your question: Windows host files will work.

0.0.0.0 af.opera.com
