User reviews

Thanks, CIRA, for the Canadian Shield and keeping Canadians safe! My family has been using the CIRA Shield DNS for years. It works like a charm completely in the background. You won't know it's there. And this browser extension protects when being on the road and connecting to public Wifi spots. Highly recommended :-)
