Brief summary
DNS Override is an app for iPhone and iPad that makes changing DNS servers quick and straightforward. It works across both Wi-Fi and cellular connections and gives you easy access to a wide selection of public DNS and SmartDNS providers. The interface is built so users can set and switch DNS servers without technical hassle.

Privacy and encrypted DNS
DNS Override can encrypt DNS lookups using DoH (DNS-over-HTTPS) and DoT (DNS-over-TLS), keeping name resolution private and preventing on‑path snooping. It connects directly to the DNS provider you choose, delivering secure queries without routing traffic through a VPN or third-party proxy.
