## Description

DNSecure is a configuration tool that enables encrypted DNS on iOS and iPadOS, allowing a single DNS configuration to be used system-wide. It supports DNS-over-TLS and DNS-over-HTTPS for enhanced privacy and security.

How it works and how to use:
- Select a DNS server you like, or add another one
- Enable "Use This Server"
- Open the Settings
- Go to "General" > "VPN & Network" > "DNS"
- Select "DNSecure" (instead of the default "Automatic") to activate protection.

## Review summary

Users broadly praise DNSecure for its simplicity, ad-free experience, and ability to manage DNS with multiple providers. Reviews highlight the privacy-focused, minimal design and easy provider switching (NextDNS, ControlD, Quad9, etc.). However, several repeat issues include stability and compatibility problems (crashes, Not Running state, older OS limits), data persistence glitches (edits lost), and unclear support for DNS-over-QUIC/DOH, indicating reliability and protocol support need improvement.

### Pros

- Simple and easy to use with clear setup and instructions.
- Ad-free experience and strong ad-blocking.
- Flexible DNS management with support for multiple providers and easy switching.
- Privacy-focused, private and minimal design.

### Cons

- Stability issues: crashes, Not Running state, and occasional freezes, plus limited compatibility with older iOS/macOS versions.
- Data persistence problems: edits may be lost and new DNS entries can cause the app to freeze before saving.
- DNS-over-QUIC/DOH support is unclear or not well documented.
