Why DNS matters with VPN
DNS translates domain names to IP addresses. Some users want malware-blocking resolvers (Quad9), faster public DNS (Cloudflare), or ad-blocking DNS (AdGuard) in addition to VPN encryption.
DNS profiles in FollowNet
Pick a DNS preset in Settings without leaving the app. DNS queries can route through the VPN tunnel depending on configuration — see Privacy Policy for handling details.
FAQ
Which DNS should I use?
Quad9 for security focus, Cloudflare for speed, AdGuard DNS for ad blocking — or system default.
Does custom DNS replace VPN encryption?
No. DNS changes resolver choice; VPN still encrypts traffic to the VPN server.
Can I use DNS profiles on Free?
DNS settings are available per your current plan in the app.
