Quick summary
DNS ugunsmūris is a no-cost iPhone utility built to strengthen your web safety by actively preventing access to malicious online resources. It spots and blocks sites involved in scams and malware distribution as they appear, and notifies you immediately when a dangerous domain is encountered. The app also includes protection against scam calls that have been flagged by CERT.LV, giving a broader layer of security beyond just web filtering.
Protection method
The app relies on the VpnService API to handle DNS lookups securely. By routing DNS queries through its protected channel, it can detect and block harmful domains without rerouting all network traffic, which helps preserve speed and normal app behavior. Users receive instant notifications when risky sites are intercepted so they can decide how to respond.
Highlights and advantages
- Lightweight operation that preserves device performance while scanning DNS queries.
- Built-in blocking of reported fraudulent phone numbers (data from CERT.LV).
- Real-time detection of malicious domains with prompt alerts to the user.
- Privacy-focused approach: only necessary information is used for app functionality.
- Prevents access to scam and malware distribution sites before they can cause harm.
Alternative suggestion
If you also want an offline media option, consider apps such as Offline Music Player — Mp3Audio Free as an alternative for playing stored audio files without network dependency.
Getting started
To begin, download DNS ugunsmūris from the App Store, grant the app permission to use the VPN/DNS service, and enable call filtering if you want scam-call protection. The app runs in the background and will notify you when it blocks suspicious domains or flagged calls.
