[QUOTE="windscribe, post: 974580, member: 58131"] We're really trying to avoid going the app route, as a DNS service shouldn't require any apps, that's kinda the point of it. If you're gonna run an app, might as well run a VPN app. That being said, we are making a utility that helps configure ControlD on Windows/Mac, and roll back the previous configuration you had. But this is not a management utility. This is geared for non-tech savvy people who are to afraid to modify their interface settings manually, and would rather an app do it for them. What is the issue that requires you to switch DNS providers all the time? That's what we'd rather address and eliminate the need to do that in the first place. So mind sharing? Uncensored resolver will be more useful when we deploy [URL='https://blog.cloudflare.com/encrypted-client-hello/']ECH[/URL] (in the coming weeks if the tests this week go as planned). This will allow users to access blocked websites without the use of a VPN, even on networks that filter SNI (most restrictive networks do). So yes, you could run a VPN... or just update your DNS resolver and not use any apps at all. Keep in mind, ECH is bleeding edge tech, and is only supported in Firefox right now. But this will change in the future. [/QUOTE]
