RoTunneling Protect stops known malware, phishing and scam sites before they load. It is free for everyone, RoTunneling customer or not, and needs no account: install it as a browser extension, or use it through DNS over HTTPS on any device and network. In the RoTunneling VPN app it is on by default, for every app.
Pick by what you want to protect: one browser, the whole device or every app.

Download and install the configuration profile: dns.rotunneling.net-DOH.mobileconfig. On iPhone and iPad, install it from Settings > General > VPN & Device Management; on a Mac, from System Settings > Privacy & Security > Profiles. The whole device then uses RoTunneling Protect through DoH.

RoTunneling Protect checks the address
What kinds of sites and servers we stop, and where our lists come from.
The browser extension covers phishing, scams, malware, malvertising, tracking servers, intrusive ad networks and hidden cryptomining. Command-and-control servers, malicious IP addresses, stalkerware and fake betting sites are stopped by RoTunneling Protect through DoH and the VPN app.
Our lists are chosen so apps and sites keep working.
The service address, how DNS filtering differs from the extension, and what each option covers.
https://dns.rotunneling.net/dns-query/publicUse it in any browser, system or app that supports DNS over HTTPS. The service works over DNS over HTTPS only.
Classic DNS travels unencrypted, so your provider or anyone on your network can see and change it. DNS over HTTPS encrypts every lookup, and our own system checks each one against our threat lists: if the destination is dangerous, the connection never starts.
Set in a browser, DNS over HTTPS protects that browser; with the Apple profile or Nebulo, it protects the whole device.
The extension works in the browser you install it in. It recognises dangerous pages right in the browser, shows you a clear warning and stops tracking servers and intrusive ad networks.

Extension: the check runs in your browser. Your browser hashes the site name and compares it with a list stored on your device, so our server never receives the address you open.
DNS over HTTPS: your DNS lookups are not stored. The service does not need them, and requests reach our server through an intermediate network, so it never sees your real IP.
The Protect extension looks after your browser. RoTunneling VPN looks after the whole phone or computer, on any network.
