DNS Forge: Private DNS

Switch to encrypted DNS in seconds. Use a preset, paste a NextDNS or AdGuard URL, or import a .mobileconfig — then verify it with built-in resolver and leak tools.

DNS Forge puts encrypted, private DNS in your control — and gives you the tools to prove it's working.

Pick a trusted preset, add your own resolver, or import a configuration profile, then confirm exactly which server is answering your queries. No accounts. No tracking. Everything stays on your device.

ENCRYPTED DNS, YOUR WAY • One-tap presets: Cloudflare (malware/family), Quad9, AdGuard, AdGuard Family, and OISD • Add custom resolvers over DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH), DNS-over-TLS (DoT), or standard DNS • Paste a provider URL (NextDNS, AdGuard, ControlD, and more) — server IPs are optional • Test any endpoint before you save it

NETWORK RULES • Apply your resolver everywhere, on Wi-Fi only, on cellular only, or on specific Wi-Fi networks • Keep trusted home or office networks on their own DNS automatically

CONFIGURATION PROFILES • Import .mobileconfig files — including signed profiles from popular providers • Export your setup to share with family or deploy across devices • Preview the exact profile XML before you install or share it

A REAL DIAGNOSTICS TOOLKIT • DNS Resolver Test — reveal which resolver is actually answering you • Resolver by Domain — check how a specific domain is being routed • Resolver Benchmark — compare median response time across your resolvers • Certificate Inspector — examine the TLS certificate a DoH/DoT server presents • DNS Lookup — query A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, and TXT records • IP Tools — see your IP and reverse-lookup any address

SPLIT DNS (EXPERIMENTAL) • Scope a resolver to specific domains so only those queries use it

PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no analytics, no ads, no tracking • Your DNS configuration never leaves your device • Diagnostic lookups use public services only when you run them

DNS Forge is built for the privacy-conscious and power users alike — whether you just want safer browsing with a trusted provider, or you run your own resolver and want to verify every detail.
