Pick a resolver
The catalogue holds ad-blocking, family, security and unfiltered resolvers, each stating its transport, region and logging policy. Add your own DoH or DoT endpoint if you run one.
ClearWay
Private DNS that drops ad domains
ClearWay points your iPhone or iPad at an encrypted DNS resolver that you choose. Ad and tracker domains stop resolving, so a large share of the ads inside games and free apps never load in the first place — with no VPN tunnel, no proxy and no account.

How it works
How it works
Approve it once
iOS does not let an app switch its own DNS on. Enable it yourself in Settings the first time — four taps. After that, changing resolvers in ClearWay takes effect immediately.
Test before you trust
ClearWay sends real DNS queries from your device, reports the round-trip time and counts how many known ad domains each resolver actually refuses to answer.
Features
Small app, no compromises
Measurement, not marketing
Every resolver can be measured from inside the app: real RFC 8484 queries, round-trip latency, and a per-domain count of what each one blocks. You see the numbers before you switch.
Encrypted by default
Apple's DNS Settings API accepts DNS over HTTPS and DNS over TLS and nothing else, so every resolver here is encrypted. The network you are on cannot read or rewrite your lookups.
Adult content filtering
The family resolvers filter adult sites for every app and browser on the device at once, which makes ClearWay a quick way to set up a child's iPhone or iPad.
Bring your own resolver
Add any DoH or DoT endpoint, or paste a NextDNS configuration ID to use your own blocklists. There is also a configuration profile export that needs no special entitlement.
Shortcuts and Siri
Turn protection on or off, or switch to a named resolver, from Shortcuts, Spotlight or the Action button.
