Configuring with iOS settings sends unencrypted DNS requests to 1.1.1.1 and, as a result, the sites you access can be seen in your internet traffic by people like your Mobile provider (when using mobile internet) or the local cafe (when using their WiFi) or your home ISP (when using your home WiFi).
This app enables your DNS requests to be encrypted. Your requests are still seen by Cloudflare, of course.

- rabboRubble 8y agoGot a follow up question for you... have you guys integrated the IOS into Apple's "Shortcuts" app? This app was created by a 3rd party used to be called Workflow. Apple bought the app 2 years ago or so. Reason I ask... I have a one-tap shortcut to turn off WIFI and Bluetooth for leaving home. Would be awesome to turn off WIFI / Bluetooth / turn on Cloudfare with a single tap as I head out the door. I don't need the battery drain from VPN usage while sitting at home, and already have my DNS routed away from my ISP.
- zackbloom 8y agoThanks for the suggestion, we'll look into integrating. There shouldn't be notable battery drain from the app though, it's not a VPN in the traditional sense.
- rabboRubble 8y agoVery cool. Thanks. Yeah, in addition to the battery issue (which sounds a nonissue based on your reply) there is the simply issue of me not remembering to turn on / off.
