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!

Hello, when will Contra D be available in French?! You promised me 2-3 years ago and still nothing for us French-speaking areas.

Provide more control for built-in filter tab or merge it with services. So for example user be able to bypass or redirect Crypto websites or Government websites to another location. Right now the only option is block.

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.

Could we get a specific filter to block YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Reels at the DNS level?

i have 135 clients under my main client. I want to mass delete all the ones that have not been online or are not actively online

Hello,

Hi Team,

For home users who may be involved in using the ControlD dashboard to deal with addictions, limit harmful behaviors, etc., it would be a big plus to not display the deactivation code for endpoints, since at times other parties may be putting that in the dashboard and it can be easily viewed.
