iOS

1.1.1.1: Faster Internet ↗ is the preferred method of setting up 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver and 1.1.1.1 for Families in iOS devices. It allows you to automatically configure your phone to use 1.1.1.1 on any network you connect to, and solves iOS inability of using an alternative DNS resolver in cellular connections.

The app also allows you to enable encryption for DNS queries or enable WARP mode, which keeps all your HTTP traffic private and secure, including your DNS queries to 1.1.1.1.

You can select between the options available in the app’s settings. By default, 1.1.1.1: Faster Internet is configured to WARP mode.

1. Download 1.1.1.1: Faster Internet from the App Store ↗ for free.
2. Launch 1.1.1.1: Faster Internet and accept the Terms of Service.
3. Install the VPN profile that allows your phone to connect securely to 1.1.1.1.
4. Toggle the WARP button to Connected.

2. Select the ‘i’ icon next to the Wi-Fi network you are connected to.
3. Scroll down and select Configure DNS.
4. Change the configuration from Automatic to Manual.
5. Select Add Server.

Note

Setting up a static IP address to configure a DNS server may prevent you from connecting to some public Wi-Fi networks that use captive portals — these are the web pages some wireless networks employ to let users log in and use their services.

If you are experiencing connectivity issues related to captive portals:

1. Remove the static IP addresses from the device or disable the 1.1.1.1 app.
2. Connect to the Wi-Fi network.
3. Once the connection has been established, re-add the static IP addresses or enable the 1.1.1.1 app.
