To simplify the ctrld utility usage, I'd like to see a Luci interface created for ctrld with at least the most basic of settings created for the people running OpenWRT. This way it can be setup easily even by people who do not have any terminal knowledge. Not only would this open up for more people to use the ctrld utility, but ControlD lacks this compared with other services such as NextDNS who offers this.

I'd like to see OpenWRT include the ctrld utility so an install can be done from the Luci interface from the default repo. NextDNS is already included and ControlD is noticably lacking.

I keep getting the response "Failed to create or modify custom rules" when trying to unblock or block domains. Why is that and how can I fix it?

It seems that even with the 1.3.3 update today there are still times when the router is creating 'clients' (viewed by going to the ControlD website, clicking on Analytics, selecting the Router device, and clicking on the list of clients inside it) where they don't have a MAC address.

Dear ControlD Team,
I hope you are very well and satisfied. The ControlD has very good features that suit me and my home network. I have a problem which is the VPN apps and software can connect and this allows to bypass the ControlD and the settings which I configured. I know there is a feature called "VPN & DNS" and it is active on my plan, but it is only blocks access to VPN and DNS domains/websites. In other words, any VPN app like "Psiphon" can connect and establish the connection. I need a way or feature to block VPN/Tunnel connections before the VPN/Tunnel established. I know it is a very hard way because some apps uses the HTTPS/443 or DNS-Over-TLS/853 to bypass. I think the advanced firewall hardware with Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) feature can solve this problem. I know it is not something difficult for the ControlD Team. I wish such feature exists in future so it will help me to continue my paid plan.
Thanks in advance and sorry for writing too long.

Is it possible to add additional filter categories, such as adult stores, hate and discrimination websites, firearms, and websites that feature suicide/torture/beating, tobacco and vape?

Hi,

It would be great if you could add a term after which your analytical data is deleted from the server. I really do not care about stats from 6 months ago and from a privacy point of view i'd like to limit the term they are kept. So can you add a feature that says delete data after x days, weeks, months, years?

It would be nice addition to be able to compare different profiles to identify the differences and sync them quickly.

Hello ControlD Team,
