Comments and Reviews
Nice free DNS resolver with encryption, no logs and blocking options. This is a DNS and not a proxy, it won't change your IP or the geolocation information provided by your browser API in any way. So don't use it to disguise your location as the other review suggests!
A more feature-complete option is NextDNS but for a quick free setup without request limits this is perfect.
Control D features a Family Friendly standard configuration. Unfortunately, it did not block the proxy service that I tested.
Blocks ads and malware, and changes my location without a VPN.
It's unlike any other service out there.
