Technically, DNSecure is possible to support macOS. I'm currently working on this.

Hello everyone; thank you for this superb application for iOS and macOS.

I wondered, is there any interest in maybe making available DNSecure not only via App Store, but also via brew?

Thank you very much in advance.

1. add shortcuts method which help change dns for certain app autoly when open them
2. Give examples of dns rules,I need to automaticly change dns for visiting different domain/ip,however I still not get the point.
3. Add whole opthion apple gives, apple give an option for dns over ip,but our app only afford https and Tls.

There are DoT servers offering different ports, maybe useful to be implemented into DNSecure, if possible.
Here an example:

IPv4 address: 146.255.56.98
IPv6 address: 2a02:1b8:10:234::2
TCP port: 443 or 853
Name for TLS verification: dot1.applied-privacy.net
TLSA record: available
TCP Fast Open support: no

The ui when adding an IP address doesn’t allow to set the dots in an ip address

Steps to reproduce

1. Open DNSecure
2. Do not select any server
3. Tap "+" button
4. Tap "DNS-over-TLS"

Version

DNSecure 1.1.0 (8) (TestFlight beta)

I want to open the Settings app's DNS settings page automatically by tapping the "Activate" link on the sidebar, but it just opens the Settings app currently.

ContentView.updateStatus() is currently called on .onAppear() of the sidebar. However, this doesn't address the following case.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open DNSecure
2. Tap a server
3. Tap "Use This Server" on the detail view
4. Tap "Activate" on the bottom of the sidebar, then the Settings app will be opened automatically
5. Select DNSecure as a DNS provider
6. Go back to DNSecure

Expected behavior:

It shows "Active" on the bottom of the sidebar.

Actual behavior:

It shows "Inactive", but once I hide and show the sidebar, it will be refreshed.

is there a difference between the two app versions?

With the iPhone cannot connect to a DoT server, the same server with DoH works OK.
The iPad connects the same DoT server without any problem. This is not a new issue, just forgot to report

Would be nice to implement into DNSecure app also the Apple / Cludflare newly developed ODoH protocol.
At the moment seems that such DNS server is provided by Cloudflare only, but other will follow soon. I think.

Here’s how it works:
ODoH wraps a layer of encryption around the DNS query and passes it through a proxy server, which acts as a go-between the internet user and the website they want to visit. Because the DNS query is encrypted, the proxy can’t see what’s inside, but acts as a shield to prevent the DNS resolver from seeing who sent the query to begin with.

Also a warning message shows up when changes are made #

Editing anything inside an on-demand rule causes the view to close itself

Steps to reproduce:

• Open a server’s details
• Add a new on-demand rule
• Tap on it and make any modification

Specifications:
iOS Version: 16.1
Device: iPhone 12 Mini
App version: 1.4.0 (Apple Store)

Hey, thanks for your nice work!
Since your app is not available for Mac yet, could you please share a mobileconfig that could be used in Mac?
I need a profile that is system-wide and not used only by Safari. I cannot find it elsewhere.

Thanks

iOS 16.4.1, iPhone 12 mini

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select a server, create a new rule
2. Enter the rule-edit screen
3. Add SSID
4. Type 1 character in the SSID text field

Expected result:

• Can enter SSID

Actual result:

• Screen goes blank:

It would be handy to have my profiles and configurations synced between all my devices running DNSecure.

Not a huge difference, but the new MacOS Network page functions different enough to make the current instructions not relevant. Screenshots would be helpful too.

I found that our current implementation was not sufficient to make the "Apply with excluded domains" feature work. According to here, we have to use NEOnDemandRuleEvaluateConnection and NEEvaluateConnectionRule.

It is possible to add somewhere the DNScrypt DNSstamp please?

Following up from #10 we would love if we could be part of this list, since many of our users use your app (great work btw ❤️). But I understand that you don't want the providers list to go huge, so I thought I should ask before we open a PR.

If you plan to make UI changes in the sidebar to accommodate more providers, one idea is to group per provider since some of them may have different protocols (DoH, DoT) or options (cutting ads, trackers, etc).

Hi,
In some case, I need to switch back to the default DNS.
If you can add the shortcuts, URL Schemes and/or widgets to turn on/off the DNS setting, even to switch different DNS, that’s could be excellent.

It's not working with the initially delivered server configs nor with newly added.
The DNS setting was activated as requested.

Use Logger API.

It is possible to support Shortcuts feature so that can automate switching between different DNS providers?

on my configuration, IP DNS and DNS over TLS doesn’t work together.

Created a new entry for my customized DNS. Using a self-built AdGuard for DNS over TLS, and try to setup 1.1.1.1 as as failover.

DoT works along, but whenever I added 1.1.1.1 under server section, the network stop working. No page loaded.

Tried DoH as well, same issue

either DoH or DoT, my AdGuard works along without any IP entered but can’t work together.

I also tried self-signed profile which seem having same issue. Not sure if it’s Apple side issue or what. Those build in configurations work though.

Since this app doesn’t have logs, so I can’t really debug it myself. Anyone have similar issue and know the solution?

iOS 14.6 - Doesn’t seem to be working over LTE. Checking my DNS while connected to any DNA server through the app just comes back as my cellular service provider. Furthermore, Adguard’s Adblock DNS-over-HTTPS doesn’t work on WiFi or cellular with the app.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select a server
2. Tap "Add New Rule"
3. Tap the rule created above
4. Tap "Add SSID"

Expected behavior:

The currently connected SSID is inserted into the new row.

Actual behavior:

An empty line is created.

Environment:

• iPadOS 16.5 (20F5039e), iPad Pro 12.9-inch 6th generation

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select a server from the sidebar
2. Tap "Add New Rule"
3. Tap the rule created above
4. Tap "Add SSID"

Expected behavior:

A new row will be created in the "SSID Match" section.

Actual behavior:

A new row was created, but the screen transitioned to the previous screen.

Environment:

iOS 15.0, iPhone 13 mini

Hi,

this is a feature request on having an extra field to declare an alternate TCP Port for DoT servers. Although the majority and default port is 853 a lot of providers are blocking this port or sometimes a DoT server have a different functionality to another tcp port. So it would be useful to have the opportunity to declare an custom port to a different field (if necessary)

PS: Thanks for this project

Currently, DNSecure has the examples of DNS services by default, e.g. Google Public DNS, Cloudflare 1.1.1.1, and Quad9.

However, it has the following problems:

1. Once you change server settings, you can't see a new default list even if you update the app that includes a new one.
2. If the default list is too long, the app becomes less useful.
   • Related to #10 (comment)

To solve them, I plan to treat those DNS services as templates and add "Create from Templates" into the context menu of the plus button so that I can leave the default list empty.

Have you considered the ability to sync user-added DNS setups across multiple devices so that I don’t have to add them to each phone/tablet/Mac individually? The app is great as-is, so this is really just a “nice to have” feature.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Tap "+" button on the top of the sidebar in order to add a new server
2. Tap the new server created
3. Delete it by swiping from right to left on the sidebar
4. Tap another existing server

The core functionality works.

Now in my intranet say, *.my.local there are nodes (e.g. node1.my.local). The router is usually a DNS-server for those local nodes.

• Is it currently possible (how?) to add an "exclusion" and use the Router DNS to resolve those hostnames on the local network?

Obtaining different DNSSEC test results (rootcanary.org) when using UncensoredDNS (@tykling) Unicast server:

• Manually configured server (DoH or DoT not enabled (screenshot A)
• DoH enabled through DNSecure app or installed profile @nitrohorse (screenshot DoH)
• DoT enabled through DNSecure app or installed profile @nitrohorse (screenshot DoT)

P.S. New DNS test page went live (beta) https://cmdns.dev.dns-oarc.net/

When the configuration is the same as the previous configuration, the error "configuration is unchanged" occurs. However, this isn't a problem for normal use, so this should be ignored.

Apparently DNS-over-QUIC can run in iOS as by AdGuard, possible implementation in DNSecure would be nice.

It could be nice to disable encrypted dns behavior while connected to certain WiFi’s, also a whole new level would be to use certain profiles on encrypted dns depending on the wifi you’re currently connected.

The following TextFields work but are laggy.

• The TextField for "Name" on DetailView
• All TextFields on RuleView

With the new update changing the name or adding dns addresses or whatever make it a pain with an error constantly appearing.

I have discovered a repeatable bug with server settings. After launching the App, the sidebar list is populated with the full default list of DNS servers as expected - for both DoH and DoT providers.

Whichever service provider’s properties are first accessed from the DNSecure UI (e.g., Quad9 - DoH or DoT), all other providers that use the same protocol inherit the same server properties. As such, all DoH providers will have the same settings - as will all DoT providers.

Deleting and re-adding a provider, or creating a new provider doesn’t resolve the problem - and neither does editing. As such, it isn’t possible to switch between different DNS providers. Removing and re-adding the App restores the default list - but the problem will recur upon choosing a DNS provider.

The problem is repeatable between iPads of the same model.

iPadOS 16.x
iPad Pro 12.9” M1

Currently, I use saveFromPreferences to remove settings when "Use This Server" is disabled, but this occurs an error. So, instead, use removeFromPreferences.

Hi there,

When I try to activate the Service in Network Preferences and then hit apply, it goes back to "not running". Any idea why? Could it have to to with the other services, like Little Snitch?

I tried multiple different DNS servers TLS and HTTPS. Always the same result. Tried restarting and this also didn't solve the issue.

When an error occurs, an alert should be displayed.
