WhiteStar HyperSpace vs 123Filtering

WhiteStar HyperSpace Federation Agent is the official app for macOS and iOS that connects your personal devices through secure, private networking. We provide pure post-quantum cryptography (category 5) by utilizing ML-KEM-1024, ML-DSA-87, SHA-512, and AES-256 algorithms. HyperSpace creates direct, on-demand connections between your devices without relying on cloud intermediaries or complicated configuration. Once you install the Federation Agent and sign in with the same email address on multiple devices, HyperSpace automatically forms secure connections between them. You can move files, access devices remotely, and create a seamless personal network across platforms. Everything happens quietly in the background, even across firewalls or while you’re on the go. Each Federation is a private group of trusted devices that belongs to you and represents you as a user. You can connect up to ten devices for free. If you need more devices, or if you want to add HyperSpace Service or Connection Agents to your deployment for advanced remote access and control, visit WhiteStar Communications or contact support@whitestar.io, as these are considered enterprise features. HyperSpace is built to give you real privacy, real control, and real simplicity. There are no VPNs to configure, no static IPs to manage, and no third parties watching your traffic. You get a fast, secure, personal network that just works.

123Filtering is a DNS-based internet security service that helps protect your devices from unwanted content and online threats. It filters what reaches your device so you can enjoy a cleaner, safer and more focused internet experience. Whether you are protecting your family, your business or yourself, 123Filtering works quietly in the background to block harmful content and let through what matters most. Key features • Content filtering: block unwanted and harmful domains (e.g. explicit content, malware, phishing). • Device-wide protection: filtering applies across all apps and browsers, not just inside a single browser. • DNS-level security: block unwanted domains before they load, for a faster and more consistent experience. • Simple setup: quick configuration, then 123Filtering runs automatically in the background. • Light and efficient: DNS-based protection designed to have minimal impact on performance and battery. How 123Filtering works When your device looks up a website (a DNS query), 123Filtering checks whether that domain is allowed. Blocked domains are stopped before a connection is made, which helps keep apps and browsers aligned with your preferences. 123Filtering focuses on DNS-level decisions and does not inspect the full content of your web pages, messages or files. It controls which domains can be reached, helping create a more focused, distraction-free and safer environment. Use of VPN / Network Extension (required disclosure) 123Filtering uses Apple’s Network Extension capabilities to provide system-wide DNS filtering and protection on iOS: • 123Filtering can create an on-device “VPN-like” configuration (such as a DNS Proxy or DNS Settings configuration) so it can securely handle DNS queries from all apps and browsers. • Only DNS queries are processed for filtering and policy enforcement. The rest of your internet traffic (the actual content of websites, videos, messages, etc.) continues to use your normal network connection unless your configuration explicitly routes traffic through a tunnel. • 123Filtering is not a general-purpose VPN. It does not aim to change your IP address, hide your location, bypass geo-restrictions or provide anonymous browsing. • These permissions are required so 123Filtering can apply DNS-based filtering consistently across the entire device, rather than only inside a single app. • DNS requests handled by 123Filtering can be encrypted between your device and our filtering service (where supported by your selected configuration), in line with Apple platform requirements. In short, 123Filtering uses Network Extension only as a technical mechanism to enable DNS filtering and device-wide internet protection. Learn more at 123filtering.com
