Compare Control D vs. Trust DNS

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.

A DNS (Domain Name System) changer converts web addresses such as Surfshark.com into the numerical IP addresses essential for machine communication. Typically, your DNS provider is your Internet Service Provider (ISP), which has the capability to monitor your web activity and retain your browsing history. By using a DNS changer, you can enhance your privacy since it encrypts your DNS requests and allows you to connect to public DNS servers provided by third parties. Changing your DNS settings is relatively straightforward; you can manually adjust them through your device’s Wi-Fi settings by editing the network configuration. Alternatively, you can simplify the process by using the Trust DNS app, which enables you to switch DNS servers with just one tap. There are two primary methods to utilize the Trust DNS app: you can either activate its server for improved browsing security or connect to one of the free third-party DNS servers that offer features like content filtering, ad blocking, and protection against malware. This flexibility ensures that users can choose an option that best suits their needs while enhancing their online experience.
