DNS Security helps protect your privacy by encrypting DNS queries with DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT).
When you visit a website, HTTPS encrypts the content of your connection, but traditional DNS lookups may still be sent without encryption. These DNS requests translate domain names into IP addresses, and unencrypted queries can expose browsing activity to eavesdropping, tracking, or manipulation.
DNS Security closes this privacy gap by helping you use encrypted DNS providers. With DoH and DoT, your DNS queries are protected from interception and tampering, reducing the risk of malicious redirection, phishing, malware, and surveillance.
Key Features:
• DNS over HTTPS and DNS over TLS support
• No VPN traffic routing required
• Choose trusted providers such as Google, Cloudflare, AdGuard, and more (Some providers need Pro)
• Add custom DNS configurations for greater flexibility (Pro only)
• Enable or disable DNS settings for cellular and Wi-Fi (Pro only)
• Configure rules for specific Wi-Fi SSIDs (Pro only)
• Check current DNS status directly in the app
• Privacy-focused design: the app only manages DNS configuration and does not collect user information
DNS over HTTPS uses port 443, while DNS over TLS uses port 853.
Take control of your DNS privacy and enjoy a safer, more private browsing experience.
Pro Features:
The Pro version includes advanced configuration tools such as custom DNS profiles, built-in profile updates, Wi-Fi SSID rules, and URL scheme support.
URL Scheme Support:
Pro version supports custom URL schemes, allowing other apps, Shortcuts, or browsers to launch the app and apply a specific DNS configuration automatically.
Supported URL schemes: (Pro only)
dnsapp://switch?config=google-DOH&enableOnWifi=true&enableOnCellular=false
DNS Security Pro:
dnssecuritypro://
DNS Security:
dnssecurity://
Common Shared scheme:
dnsapp://
This is the best option in the App Store for setting a custom DNS. It doesn’t install a VPN profile, but a DNS profile which seems like the right way to do it. It also supports DOH and DOT. The ability to quickly toggle the connection is also a big plus compared to installing a profile directly. My one piece of feedback would be to add a way to disable the connection for a given amount of time. There are times when something doesn’t work quite right so I want to toggle my DNS connection off to see if that’s the issue, but then I forget to activate it again. So, it would be good to be able to set a timer to reactivate or at least get a reminder notification.
Developer Response
Thanks.
Actually works

This app finally let me use DoH with my NextDNS configuration, where other apps as well as the iOS settings could not. Great work!
Am I missing something??!

I am on the latest version of iPadOS, and the instructions the developer gives do not make any sense. First of all, there is no setting under General called "VPN and Network." Following the exact instructions does not allow me to enable this app. I tried several times. All of the other VPN or DNS apps I have tried pretty much allow you to automatically add a configuration. This one does not.
Works well

Been happy with the app so far. Wish it had a pin to lock down settings.
Fix shortcuts.
