I find clean browsing DNS way better…

I find clean browsing DNS way better than all the rest DNS for in Canada it made sources way faster and my privacy more safe some people meant disagree with me but for my Samsung Galaxy S21 it works great for it and I checked my speed test and it made everything way faster what other DNS did on my speed test

The support is bad.

The app is possibly okay, it's blocking most of what I set it to block but two sites still get through.
I have not been able to get any useful advice from support.
SUPPORT IS ATROCIOUS.

They don't properly read any emails. Emails will go back and forth for days and then I'm having to restate what the problem is because they don't seem to understand. It has taken anywhere from 24 to 48 hours to get a reply.

One support email advised me to "open the terminal and run these tests". I replied and asked "what is the terminal?" They are apparently not aware that when talking to a new customer, they have to explain what these things are. Their reply didn't seem to notice that I'd asked a question and I still don't know what the terminal is.

If the support was competent and I could get the app to block 100% then it would be five stars, obviously though, being less than 100% renders it useless.

DNS provider #1 for me

Works perfectly fine, even with lots of DNS requests. The DNS resolve time is also pretty good.

You can easily block unwanted websites (e.g. phishing or adult sites) by configuring CleanBrowsing DNS as your DNS provider in your PCs, phone’s or home router’s settings. If you are struggling with setting up the DNS, take yourself some time and read how DNS works and how to configure it in your device or network. After setting it up correctly, it will work.

Personally, I use a paid customised filter (they offer that too) and also had only good experiences with the payment process.

Search no more!

I use their service for many years , as an IT in a group of supermarkets that decide to go with the payment plan.
It works as expected ...and more.
The critical point is, that I had some suggestions (and probably others) and thankfully, they quickly respond and not only this, but they implement them in a later update. 2 or three at a time. But they really support their service , actively.
They continuously update their service, with new useful features. Not just one feature to make an update.
Complete and detailed list of everything (a little messy in the logs, but it is a suggestion for the future updates :) ).
And recently, their mobile app, is available and in Greece (it was blocked until 2021 that I checked).
If you want one of the best DNS Resolver, search no more.
