Description

Control D is a customizable DNS filtering and traffic redirection platform that leverages Secure DNS protocols like DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-QUIC, with support for Legacy DNS. With Control D you can: block malicious threats, block unwanted types of content network wide (ads & trackers, IoT telemetry, adult content, socials, and more), redirect traffic using transparent proxies and gain visibility on network events and usage patterns, with client level granularity. Think of it as your personal Authoritative DNS resolver for the entire Internet that gives you granular control over what domains get resolved, redirected or blocked.

Description

Designed to enhance privacy on all Apple devices, this app encrypts DNS queries and routes them through no-logging DNS servers, ensuring your online activities remain private and secure. Unlike VPNs, it offers system-wide protection that covers all apps and services on your device, not just the browser. The app boasts an easy setup process and lets users switch DNS servers quickly without vendor lock-in, providing flexibility and control. It reduces exposure to harmful websites by blocking or minimizing connections to unsafe domains. Regular automatic updates keep the DNS provider list current for optimal protection. The comprehensive in-app help system guides users through features and troubleshooting. Most importantly, the app operates without collecting data or tracking user activity, respecting your privacy. This solution is ideal for Apple users seeking strong, lightweight DNS-based security without the complexity of VPNs.
