The internet was never meant to spy on you β but these days, it often does.
At Mask.ad, we believe in putting privacy and control back into the hands of everyday internet users. Thatβs why weβre proud to launch our new Encrypted DNS servers: fast, free, and focused on protecting your data from prying eyes.
π‘ What Is DNS, and Why Should You Care?
Every time you visit a website, your device asks a DNS server to find its IP address β like an internet phonebook. But by default, these DNS requests are often unencrypted, meaning:
-
Your ISP, your employer, or anyone on the network can see the websites you visit.
-
They can log, analyze, or even sell your browsing habits.
-
Malware, ads, and phishing domains can slip through without resistance.
This is where Encrypted DNS changes everything.
π Why Use Encrypted DNS?
Our new DNS servers support:
-
DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH)
-
DNS-over-TLS (DoT)
-
DNSCrypt
These protocols encrypt your DNS traffic, shielding it from surveillance, censorship, or tampering β whether youβre on public Wi-Fi, at work, or at home.
π₯ Real-world threats prevented by Encrypted DNS:
-
ISPs selling DNS data: In 2020, U.S. telecom providers were caught selling user DNS history to advertisers.
-
Man-in-the-middle attacks: Hackers have intercepted DNS to redirect users to malicious websites.
-
Parental control bypasses: Unencrypted DNS makes it easy for kids to bypass content filters using a custom DNS app.
With Mask.ad’s encrypted DNS, these vulnerabilities are eliminated at the root.
