Description

DNS Forge encrypts every DNS query on your iPhone, stopping your ISP, carrier, and network admin from seeing what you look up.

No VPN required. No monthly fees. One tap to activate.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

Every site you visit starts with a DNS query. Normally, those queries leave your device in plain text, fully visible to whoever runs your network. DNS Forge routes them over HTTPS or TLS so your browsing stays private.

6 TRUSTED PROVIDERS

Six privacy-focused resolvers, pre-configured and ready:

Cloudflare: Fast, no-log DNS

Cloudflare Family: Blocks malware and adult content

AdGuard DNS: Blocks ads and trackers at the DNS level

AdGuard Family: Adds parental controls and Safe Search

Mullvad DNS: From the makers of Mullvad VPN, zero logs

Quad9: Blocks malicious domains, non-profit operated

Or add your own — NextDNS, ControlD, or any DoH or DoT endpoint, including self-hosted resolvers.

10 DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS

A full network toolkit, built in:

DNS Resolver Test: Confirm your resolver is active

Hijack Detector: 5-step canary check for MITM and hijacking

Benchmark: Real round-trip latency, ranked fastest to slowest

DNS Lookup: Query any domain, any record type

My IP: Public IP address and geolocation

Reverse DNS: Host lookup for any IP address

WHOIS / RDAP: Domain registration and ownership data

Domain Certificate: TLS certificate details for any site

Cert Inspector: Verify your resolver's own TLS certificate chain

HTTP Headers: Inspect response headers for any URL

SMART NETWORK RULES

Apply encrypted DNS exactly where you want it - always on, Wi-Fi only, cellular only, or specific SSIDs. Exclude trusted home or work networks. Rules take effect instantly.

ICLOUD SYNC

Custom DNS profiles sync automatically across all your devices.

WIDGET + SHORTCUTS

See your active resolver and whether DNS is currently applied on your home screen or lock screen. Build automations in the Shortcuts app to change resolvers by network, time, or any trigger.

DNS Forge uses Apple's Network Extension framework to apply DNS settings at the OS level. Your queries go directly to your chosen resolver. DNS Forge never sees them.
