Description

Control D is a customizable DNS filtering and traffic redirection platform that leverages Secure DNS protocols like DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-QUIC, with support for Legacy DNS. With Control D you can: block malicious threats, block unwanted types of content network wide (ads & trackers, IoT telemetry, adult content, socials, and more), redirect traffic using transparent proxies and gain visibility on network events and usage patterns, with client level granularity. Think of it as your personal Authoritative DNS resolver for the entire Internet that gives you granular control over what domains get resolved, redirected or blocked.

Description

NextDNS offers comprehensive protection from various security risks, effectively blocking advertisements and trackers across websites and applications while ensuring a secure and monitored online experience for children on all devices and networks. You can assess your security needs and customize your protection by activating over ten different safety measures. By utilizing reliable threat intelligence feeds that contain millions of harmful domains and update constantly, you can enhance your defense mechanisms. Our system goes beyond merely tracking domains; it evaluates DNS queries and responses instantaneously, allowing for the swift identification and prevention of harmful activities. Given that there is often only a brief window of hours from when a domain is registered to when it is used in an attack, our advanced threat intelligence framework is designed to identify malicious domains more efficiently than traditional security methods. Additionally, you can effectively eliminate advertisements and trackers in both websites and applications, including even the most sophisticated ones, by leveraging the most widely used ad and tracker blocklists, which include millions of domains that are refreshed in real-time. Ultimately, NextDNS empowers users with tools to create a safer browsing environment tailored to their specific security needs.
