ADFastDNS – DNS Proxy, Ad Blocker & Advanced Threat Detection

The only iOS app combining blazing-fast DNS acceleration, system-wide ad blocking, and professional-grade network threat detection processed 100% on your device. No accounts. No logs. No compromise.

Security shouldn't be complex. Choose your protection level in one tap right from your Home screen:

Minimum: DNS filtering with curated blocklists.

Medium: Adds Anti-DPI to defeat deep packet inspection.

Max: Adds full on-device intrusion detection (HIDS) with JA4 fingerprinting.
Prefer full control? Custom settings remain fully accessible for advanced users.

Host Intrusion Detection System (HIDS)

ADFastDNS analyzes network traffic in real time without decrypting private content:

Beacon Guard: Identifies malware and spyware by detecting persistent connection patterns that evade standard consumer tools.

TLS & Hello Packet Anomaly Detection: Uses professional-grade JA4 fingerprinting to score encrypted connections and block malicious payloads before data transmits.

IP & Geo Firewall: Blacklist specific IPs or set blocking rules per country.

Advanced Exploitation Defense: Native protection against DNS Tunneling, DNS Rebinding, SNI Spoofing, and DNS Data Exfiltration.

Advanced Anti-DPI Engine

Packet Fragmentation: Intelligently splits TLS ClientHello packets.

Adaptive Connection Tuning: Automatically learns whether packet splitting helps or hurts reliability per connection, adapting locally without external servers.

Traffic Shaping: Mimics natural timing patterns to make proxy traffic statistically harder to detect and throttle.

Core Features

Next-Gen Protocols: Supports DNS over HTTPS (DoH) & DNS over QUIC (DoQ / HTTP/3).

Custom DNSoH Endpoints: Compatible with Cloudflare, Google, AdGuard, NextDNS, or any custom URL. 

System-Wide Blocking: Stop ads and trackers using your favorite filter lists.

Performance Optimization: On-device DNS cache for instant responses, per-domain proxy routing, and automatic Wi-Fi whitelisting.

Network Tools: Local DNS resolver (hosts file), QUIC Connection Migration (RFC 9000), and real-time threat statistics.

Privacy & Ecosystem: Configure 2 DNSoH endpoints  working together for maximum privacy. Zero data collection, and the ability to extend filtering to other network devices via SOCKS5 proxy. 

Why ADFastDNS?

Unlike heavy VPNs that drain your battery, ADFastDNS operates seamlessly at the transport layer making it faster, lighter, and virtually invisible. It brings enterprise-grade network security straight into the iOS sandbox.

I was looking for something that would block direct IP connections to any IP address that didn’t result from a valid DNS response. This app does exactly that. The anti-DPI and TLS Client Hello Fragmentation also totally bypass video throttling on both of my carriers. HIDS works exactly as expected too. My only complaints are as follows: 1. Statistics are pretty limited. I can see how many Direct IP blocks there have been, but I can’t see the IP addresses. The statistics reset whenever you restart the proxy, which is a bit inconvenient. It’d be nice if they could carry over across sessions. 2. DNS cache does carry over between sessions. If you enable Direct IP blocking, it’ll basically cut off all most internet activity until the TTL of prior DNS records expire. But you can manually clear the cache though so it’s not a big deal. Anyway I love the app. It’s in a league of its own. I hope y’all will consider making a Mac app in the future. Also this a big ask but it’d be really cool if you could add a socks5 proxy server similar to PairVPN where devices connected to the phone hotspot are routed through the proxy and their traffic is filtered by the the anti-DPI and HIDS system.

[2026.04.14] Avg-Rating: 98.7. Didn‘t try out new features but Statistics finally working again, though a nightmare to navigate with Apple VoiceOver; having issues with external blocklist + mal/spy download but will continue testing. [2026.02.15] Avg-Rating: 97.6. Have never rated an App this high before; surprised it doesn’t cost more for its simply designed eefectiveness… I am not always connected to any of my VPNs so this is a super easy setup when/where VPNs not necessary yet retaining DNS servers/profiles (HTTPS). Still having issues with the statistics and scroll boundary with iOS VoiceOver. [2026.01.31] Avg-Rating: 97.2. Not fond of biometrics but cannot find the option and denying view access. [2026.01.26] Avg-Rating: 97.2. v3.0 update is a tremendous improvement with many features, some I may not quite understand but explanations are supplied, thanks; and still lightweight as always. [2026.01.15] Avg-Rating: 96.1 Fully blind user and after using for some time, this just is a great powerful tool..! Not sure if intentional design or not but one little annoyance is lack of go-back button in the view all blocked listing; I can use the screen gesture (but really dislike to unless necessary.) Purpose: 99/100 Features: 98/100 Usability: 99/100 Accessibility: 97/100 Support: ---/100 Pricing: 100/100
