DNS Shield is an application developed by ARETORI Solutions LTD, designed to enhance your online privacy by providing a curated selection of no-logging DNS providers that implement DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT). By encrypting your DNS queries, the app prevents Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and other entities from monitoring your online activities.
Key Features:
Ease of Configuration: The app simplifies the process of configuring your device’s DNS settings without the need for a VPN.
Enhanced Privacy: By selecting DNS providers that do not log queries, DNS Shield minimizes the risk of your online activity being tracked or recorded.
Automatic Updates: The app automatically updates its collection of DNS providers to ensure you have access to the most reliable and secure options.
As of version 1.0.7, released on December 23, 2024, the app includes performance improvements and fixes an issue related to data updates over slow network connections.
It’s important to note that earlier versions of DNS Shield offered only two server choices—LibreDNS and Quad9. In response to user feedback, the developers have indicated plans to support more options in future updates. The decision to limit manual addition of DNS servers is intentional, aiming to ensure the quality and reliability of the services provided.
The app is available for purchase at $0.99 and requires iOS 17.0 or later for iPhone, iPadOS 17.0 or later for iPad, and macOS 14.0 or later for Mac. The developer has stated that no data is collected from the app, aligning with its focus on privacy.
For more information, you can visit the developer’s website or view the app on the App Store.
