Use a configuration profile

An iOS device profile, also referred to as a "configuration profile" by Apple, is a certificate-signed XML file that you can manually install on your iOS device or deploy using an MDM solution. It also allows you to configure Private AdGuard DNS on your device.

Important

If you are using a VPN, the configuration profile will be ignored.

  1. Download profile.
  2. Open settings.
  3. Tap Profile Downloaded. Profile Downloaded *mobile_border

Configure plain DNS

If you prefer not to use extra software to configure DNS, you can opt for unencrypted DNS. There are two options: using linked IPs or dedicated IPs.
