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.

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.
