SafeDNS introduces advanced DoH and DoH policy features to ensure traffic security

We are extremely glad to announce the release of our brand-new DNS-over-HTTPS feature, which reaffirms our commitment to secure and private Internet experiences for all users. DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) is a higher-level protocol designed for performing remote DNS resolution using the HTTPS protocol. This development marks a spectacular leap ahead in making user privacy and security better.

DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) is a protocol for performing remote DNS resolution via the HTTPS protocol. DoH significantly enhances user privacy and security by encrypting DNS queries, preventing third parties from eavesdropping on user activities, and intercepting data. By encapsulating DNS requests within HTTPS traffic, DoH prevents unauthorized entities from snooping on users' browsing activities and intercepting sensitive data. This encryption ensures that only the intended recipient, the DNS resolver, can decode and respond to the queries, maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of internet requests.

In addition to the core DoH functionality, SafeDNS is introducing the DoH policy feature. This advanced tool helps users generate their unique DoH link embedded with a policy token for applying certain filtering policies without having to manually add an IP address to the SafeDNS dashboard. The integration of this feature simplifies the management process for users, allowing them to enforce specific filtering rules effortlessly and efficiently.

This feature is particularly beneficial for managing and protecting roaming clients without our agents. In other words, such clients will always be protected by the high level of filtering and protection provided by SafeDNS, regardless of their geolocation. It's important to note that filtering operates within the browser where this setting is applied. We still recommend installing agents for comprehensive protection because when using only DNS over HTTPS, traffic from certain apps and services may remain unencrypted, leaving some vulnerabilities.

The DoH feature is available in all new SafeDNS plans, thus providing a guarantee of enhanced safety and privacy for all its users. However, the DoH Policy feature is exclusively available on our Pro, Pro+, and Education plans, offering advanced policy management and filtering capabilities for enhanced and comprehensive protection. With the DoH Policy feature incorporated in these upper-tier plans, we can deliver a more robust solution for customers that need the very finest level of protection and advanced policy management, ensuring that our users enjoy unparalleled internet security and privacy.

At SafeDNS, our mission is clear: to provide powerful, reliable Protective DNS solutions for safe internet use while attentively preserving users' privacy and control. On this note, the introduction of DoH and the DoH policy feature underline that SafeDNS continues supplying its clients with all tools necessary to browse the web safely and securely, staying up-to-date with the latest DNS security technologies.
