Stop thinking about DNS

You may have used other commercial DNS filtering platforms, or even something like Pi-Hole, or AdGuard Home. Here is why they suck:

Most don't support modern (encrypted) DNS protocols - security services over UDP53 is crazy!
Don't work on mobile devices without apps (or Wireguard tunnels)
Require constant effort to keep running
Look and function like they were built in the 90s
Require extensive knowledge of the documentation (who likes reading a 500 page guide for a website UI?)

Control D is built in 2023, leveraging modern DNS protocols (legacy too), while natively supporting all types of devices, with optional (and open sourced) roaming clients.

All Platforms

Control D can be deployed on any Internet connected device, including but not limited to.

🖥️ Windows

📡 Routers

Modern Protocols

Control D supports all DNS protocols you can think of, including bleeding edge ones like DOH3.

DNS-over-HTTPS
DNS-over-HTTPS/3
DNS-over-TLS
DNS-over-QUIC
Legacy DNS (UDP 53)

🚩 Problem -> Solution

Here are some problems you can solve with Control D, in as little as 10 minutes. I'm gonna go nuts with emojis here because we didn't want to bother the design team with fancy custom assets for this landing page.

✅ Bespoke domain and IP level blocklists
✅ Machine learning based filtering

🚧 Block Unwanted Content

Ads, clickbait, social media and porn can be harmful to the productivity of your business. Block unwanted content across networks, or on individual devices with a single click. Create blocking schedules to for dynamic behaviors.

🥕 Features

If you already used the Consumer version, you're familiar with the core features (if you're not - get a free trial). Here is what else is included in the Business accounts offering.
