it works it’s free and there’s no bull crap
there’s really no downside to it as far as I can tell, and that’s a hard thing for apps to do it would seem. would recommend for anyone who has any sort of app that has ads in it, the most difficult thing about it is learning how to navigate the menus, not in a bad way but in a, it’s just that simple, kinda way.

So far, so weird….
I’m not sure if it’s working or not. I’ve restarted my phone and even have updated iOS. I can’t tell if it’s working or not. It shows that DNSCloak is operating as the VPN. But the DNS shows that it’s being operated by DNT (Do Not Track). These are both for obtaining secured DNS, so I’m not sure how they can coexist. Something tells me one’s not really functioning…. I’ll update the star rating once I can figure out which one of these two are actually working and not just pretending.

Fantastic App for blocking ads and non intrusive app
The unsung ‘hero’ app. Choose the right server
for your region and fire up dns server and it will block all the ads. Thru a browser or even thru the app. It gives the ability to add your custom sites as well to block list which will create a sinkhole to those ads.
Thank you

Won’t connect on demand…
I don’t know why but I can’t get any VPN service to connect on demand. Every single time I start my iPad up I have to manually get DNSCloak running via turning VPN on. My other main VPN service is Orbot a TOR client. Not only do I have to manually switch VPN on when I start my iPad. I also have to switch it on manually when I exit Orbot. Orbot returns the VPN to DNSCloak but VPN is in a disabled mode. I still have to manually switch it back on.
Think I’ll try reporting this to Apple as a potential security breach.
By all that’s holy if your VPN services are set to connect on demand they should…

Please add city, country to all entries in the list
The only thing missing from the list overall is each service should clearly show the City, and country it’s being hosted in. I’m been using AdGuard for years, and years but still haven’t gotten the first clue about what city, and country is hosting it. Wouldn’t a DNS server nearer to me with the same features potentially be faster?

Great for low-level customization
I have tried a few apps that let you change what DNS server your phone uses, but this is the only one that really lets you have full control and manually configure all the options you could want.
I’ve got a simple question
I’ve got a simple question. Just what did you mean when you said in the description that it will use the entire list if none were selected? Does that mean that it will use the fastest possible based off of your current location? Just how often does it check for the best server?
If the app randomly chooses the best server to use based off of current server performance and your current location this could be a real win win. You’d always be guaranteed to get the very best overall performance at all times. Plus if you’re constantly switching randomly between servers wouldn’t that make it even harder for you to be tracked? A tracker would have to know what servers you were using at any point in time. And if none were doing any logging that would further cover your trail.

Best DNS encryption solution for iOS as well as /etc/hosts alternative
At home I tend to use PiHole with dnscrypt-proxy. This is an alternative that I have utilized both for personal use as well as for instructing enterprise QA testers to use for its advanced features in order to point production apps to dev and test environments using their corporate iPhones (since you can’t modify the hosts file on iOS without jailbreaking).

long initialization
i mean, on desktop also takes some time with official client, but is only few seconds. dnscloak goes beyond 30 seconds of patience (I actually lost patience after one minute)
this should be done in background and with a reduced set of servers and with a preselected list of servers

Good but stopped working
When I got dns it was working well and I could use it to stop the ads from piling on my computer but for some reason after afew weeks it’s kinda just shut down and never worked since
I’m just confused
Admittedly I’m no techy but I thought this would provide instructions and maybe even some definitions of terminology, because it should be accessible to lay people. We need protection as much, if not more than anybody on this wild West of an Internet. I’ve been dealing with cyber stocking and stealing of financial data for months. I have no idea if this thing is even on! Does it automatically attach to safari? What are all these servers and how do I know which is best when there is so much technical jargon? Please dumb it down for we Luddites. I imagine this is a very good app, especially given all these reviews, but if the average person cannot figure out how to use it and what all this terminology means, then as a practical matter it is ineffective.

Love it
Im using this to block browser ads on my phone and so far its fantastic, no more annoying pop ups on every website. I can browse in peace.
Could’ve given 5 booze
I have had it installed for many weeks and only issue I encountered while enabling the DNS is that after it’s enabled, the spinner keeps spinning to ensure that it’s in the process of enabling the DNS. It don’t matter which privacy filter I choose to enable the issue remains the same. Please double check it to see what’s causing the delayed of services.
To see if it ain’t working or it is I have to close the app and reopen it the popped message disappears. There ain’t no surety of DNS being enabled and working or disabled.
Hope you’d find this laggy bug to fix it soon.

Decent but…..
The concept is solid. And functionality is great. However you really need to put trust into the information Posted on these servers they are listing as true. Since I have started using this app, I have been getting tons of spam texts to my cell number…. It went from 1-2 a week to about 10 a day. All from email addresses with a similar shortened format.

Great App For Cleaning Browsing
I’ve been looking for an app to filter adult content. This is the best app I have seen after several years of research. I used the IP address filtering for my router at home too to filter my internet.
I highly recommend it!!!
I highly recommend it!!!
Literally wouldn’t use my phone without it
This app saves me an hour of ads a day, and I would never be able to use a phone any other way <3
Family hack
Effective for short duration after changing which of the selection I am using. They seem to figure it out. I hear laughs from what I am texting in my game. Word for word daughter just repeated my conversation.
Reliable, fast, works as an adblocker.
The application is really easy to setup and has a lot of stuff that can be configured manually. Most importantly is that it can work as a reliable system wide adblocker.
Amazing and highly recommend!
This product does everything and more that it claims I no longer have to wrestle with ads that I don’t want. Easy to use I highly recommend it.
BUG. Broken on iPadOS 15.6.1.
I cannot set up my iPad using this VPN because there is an overlay requiring my password which will not allow me to type in my passphrase on my iPad because of the awkward placement or a bug. It is frozen and it will not allow any keyboard input. I did not have the same issue when setting up my iPhone, but I certainly have an issue setting up my iPad Pro with this app. It seems no developer, no one, tests this nor noticed this issue???
