DNS+ is a simple encrypted DNS configuration utility for iPhone. It lets you configure DNS-over-HTTPS at the system level, so your selected DNS service can be used across supported apps and browsers. Choose between two protection modes: STANDARD PROTECTION Uses encrypted DNS filtering for a cleaner and more private browsing experience. FAMILY PROTECTION Adds filtering for adult-content domains and enables Safe Search where supported. HOW TO USE 1. Choose your preferred protection mode. 2. Set up DNS+. 3. Open iPhone Settings. 4. Go to General > VPN & Device Management > DNS. 5. Select DNS+. You only need to activate DNS+ once. After that, you can switch between Standard and Family protection directly from the app. PRIVACY DNS+ does not require an account and does not inspect or collect your browsing history. DNS requests are handled by the selected DNS provider. DNS+ uses AdGuard Public DNS as its DNS provider. Please note that DNS-based filtering has technical limitations and may not filter all content.
