What DNS Security Does

DNS Security configures Apple’s system DNS settings to use encrypted DNS resolvers. It protects DNS lookups while leaving the rest of your network traffic untouched.

Features

One-tap encrypted DNS

Enable DNS over HTTPS or DNS over TLS from the Connect tab and follow the system prompt to activate the DNS profile.

Built-in DNS profiles

Use trusted DNS providers such as Google, Cloudflare, and AdGuard, with Lite and Pro behavior clearly separated.

Custom DNS profiles

Create your own DoH or DoT profile with validation for DNS server addresses and server names.

Wi-Fi SSID rules

Choose where DNS should be enabled or disabled by matching Wi-Fi SSIDs.

DNS status check

Review the current DNS profile, protocol, proxy state, and network status from the Status screen.

Shortcuts support

Pro users can switch DNS profiles from Shortcuts or other apps with the custom URL scheme.

Lite and Pro

DNS Security Lite includes the core encrypted DNS workflow. Pro unlocks advanced controls such as custom DNS profiles, Wi-Fi SSID rules, and profile switching from Shortcuts or other apps.

DNS Security Pro is a separate paid app with Pro included from the start. DNS Security Lite can unlock Pro features with an in-app purchase.

How to Enable

  1. Open DNS Security and choose a DNS profile.
  2. Enable the switch in the Connect tab.
  3. Open iOS Settings.
  4. Go to General - VPN & Network - DNS.
  5. Select DNS Security.

On Mac, enable the DNS proxy in System Settings - Network - VPN & Filters - Filters & Proxies.

Privacy

DNS Security only configures DNS resolution through the provider you choose. It does not route all traffic through an app server, and it does not collect your browsing data.
