Hello Control D Team,
​I am a user from Venezuela and I'd like to suggest some routing optimizations for our region, as well as report aggressive ISP-level blocking from my provider (Fibex Telecom).
​1. Routing & Peering:
Currently, routing from local Venezuelan ISPs to Control D's Anycast nodes can become highly unstable during peak hours, resulting in severe jitter and packet loss. It would be amazing if the network team could look into better peering arrangements or more direct transit routes for Venezuelan ASNs to improve latency and stability.
​2. Severe ISP Censorship (Twitter, Control D, and Windscribe blocked):
Fibex Telecom has recently implemented aggressive blocks. Not only are they blocking Twitter (X) at the DNS level, but they are also blocking access to your own website (controld.com) and especially Windscribe (windscribe.com). I literally cannot load the Windscribe website to manage my accounts without turning on a VPN first.
​While using Control D via Private DNS (DoT/DoH) is the main workaround for general censorship, the ISP actively attempts to intercept, throttle, or block these secure connections. Any future enhancements to bypass this aggressive ISP blocking, or specific Proxy routing rules to ensure your own domains and social media remain accessible here, would be a game-changer.
​Thank you for the continuous updates and great work!

Don't know if there could be a way to add installed apps (in various operating systems ) to the custom rules so one can block, bypass or redirect them just as you do for websites. Thanks.

This will be valuable to a "set it and forget it" configuration. Can I request Control D to add hagezi-popupads under the third party filters options?:

Is Evolve.ai a large enough service?

I have notice that Iphone loading same page on windows (google chrome) and on android load fast and with images but on iphone with controlD profile on safari or chrome loads very very slow and without pictures.

Hi

It's probably not possible, but it would be valuable to have the ability to have Reddit without all the NSFW stuff.

As the title says, I went through and downloaded it to my phone, installed it in settings, it shows as installed but every blocked site displays the warning still and viewing the certificate details it shows the name of the blocked website and says it's not trusted

New relic is a common observability library that is being marked as advertising, but sometimes I need to allow it. That would be helpful to have it as a separate standalone service instead of just a rule.
