DNS HIJACKING by thevpn.guru

To detect #DNS hijacking is by using the ping utility. If you ping a non-existent domain & it resolves, that’s a strong indicator that your ISP is hijacking your DNS traffic.

- Ping the hostname thevpnguru-dns-exposed.tld this should fail if it does actually return an IP address you are the victim of DNS hijacking.

- Change your DNS address on a device you use to 0.0.0.0 & 0.0.0.1 If your Internet still works & you can open up web pages your DNS traffic hijacked.

DNS & blocking bad traffic iOS

On #iOS, select a #DNS provider you trust, perhaps AdGuard, dismail or dnsforge, click install profile and install it. After you've installed the profile jump over to:

Settings → General → VPN and Network → DNS
and select the newly installed profile as your DNS.

You have now not only an encrypted DNS, but also an ad and malware blocker (depending on the DNS provider you've selected).
