Intermittent DNS resolution issues for Vodafone Germany WiFi Calling
Hello,
Request: Add Control D macOS GUI Setup Utility to Homebrew Casks
The title says it all. This would be especially useful to handle upgrades, since the GUI tool does not have an auto-update feature.
Can you add a 3rd filter party?
Hello.
Greetings.
Would it be possible to add a third-party gambling blocklist?
Specifically this one:
Feature Request: Per-Rule Block Response Override in Custom Rules
Problem:
The Block Response setting is currently global to the Profile. This creates issues when different blocked endpoints require different handling—such as returning NXDOMAIN to prevent socket timeouts on specific services, or sinkholing a domain to an internal IP (block page) without forcing that behavior across the entire Profile.
Add filter category for guns/violence
Would be great for schools and younger children.
Feature Request: [CTRLD] Allow Overriding "LAN queries will be handled solely by the OS resolver" Behavior
It would be nice if there was a flag/etc to override this behavior and specify a specific upstream for LAN Queries (specifically, bare host queries without a domain - e.g. machine1, machines2). For my use case, all bare queries should go to dnsmasq on a router listening on port 53053. CTRLD lives in a docker container on a separate VM, and all clients point to that address:53.
Add DFBPlay.tv as Video Service
DFBPlay.tv streams the matches of the DFB Pokal for free in foreign countries outside of Germany like UK. I implemented the needed rules successfully as my custom rule i want to share.
Integration with Apple iOS Shortcuts
I find myself needing to temporarily disable the active endpoint to perform an action which may otherwise be blocked.
Live Microsoft FTP
I am writing because it is not possible to log in to access files on Live Microsoft FTP because two domains that would allow logging in are blocked and not even enabled in Services...
Ability to Place Profiles in Monitoring Mode While Enabling Full Analytics
Currently, when a Control D profile is used in a "monitoring mode" (where traffic is fully allowed), the analytics dashboard only displays the raw domains visited. While explicitly adding Native Services in "Bypass/Allow" mode maps service names to the analytics logs, this metadata is entirely missing for native Web Filtering Categories.I would like to request that Web Filtering Categories also be mapped and displayed within profile analytics when running a passive monitoring policy. This could be achieved by introducing an explicit "Allow/Monitor" action state directly within the Native Categories settings, or by creating a dedicated global "Monitoring Mode" switch at the profile level.
Secondary Benefit: Introducing an explicit "Allow" action for Native Categories would also provide helpful, granular override capabilities for administrators utilizing a strict, block-by-default profile posture.
