Did You Know...
Did you know that every internet connected device sends a DNS✡ request that reveals which site it's trying to reach? By default, these requests often go through your internet provider and can be tracked, logged, or even sold. DNS might seem invisible, but it plays a critical role in your online privacy. With a secure and filtered DNS service like ShomerDNS, your internet traffic is not only protected from tracking, but also shielded from harmful or inappropriate content. It's a simple yet powerful way to take back control over what your devices connect to and who gets to see it.
✡DNS stands for Domain Name System. It acts like the address book of the internet. See FAQs
