Even with a VPN, the way your device looks up websites can leak information about where you go. Private DNS closes that gap.
Every time you visit a website, your device first has to look up its address — a bit like checking a phone book before you can make a call. That lookup is called a DNS query. On most connections, even encrypted ones, this particular request is sent in plain text by default, which means it can still reveal exactly which sites you're visiting, even when the rest of your traffic is protected.
Private DNS encrypts that lookup step too, so nothing about the sites you visit leaks outside your protected connection. It works quietly in the background — once it's enabled on your account, there's nothing further to configure.
Cuts down on trackers and ad networks that rely on watching your DNS lookups.
Closes a gap that a VPN alone doesn't always cover.
Works automatically alongside your VPN connection once enabled on your account.
Private DNS is bundled with our Premium plan alongside the full VPN. Basic covers VPN only.
