DNSecure

iOS 14+, iPadOS 14+, and macOS 11+ have supported encrypted DNS (e.g. DNS-over-TLS (DoT) and DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH)), but they don't have a native UI for enabling it. To solve that, DNSecure was created. DNSecure is a configuration tool of DoT and DoH.

This app uses the new DNS Settings API, so it requires iOS 14+, iPadOS 14+, or macOS 11+.
