Malware, phishing, and scam blocks
Start with a small security filter set across your devices before adding broader browsing categories.
Personal DNS filtering for home, travel, and testing
Protect the devices you use at home, while travelling, and for testing. Veilty combines risky-domain filter sets, narrow rules, transparent proxying, and private activity history for troubleshooting.
Metrics
Example DNS activity summary for a protected family or team network.
Personal DNS controls for home and travel
Start with risky-site blocks, split devices only when their needs differ, keep rules narrow, and use private activity history to answer specific problems.
Tracker and ad reduction
Reduce connections to known tracker and ad domains without treating them as the same risk as malware or phishing.
Filters and rules by device context
Reuse the same filter and rule sets where they fit; split them only when a device has a genuinely different need.
Private activity you can still use
User-held keys protect retained DNS details and summaries, so they can explain a problem without becoming readable to Veilty.
Transparent proxying
Send a chosen site through a Veilty exit in another country when it responds differently to the visible IP location.
Narrow rules with clear reasons
Use an allow, block, or transparent proxy rule when a managed list is too broad, and record why the exception exists.
The first personal setup should stay understandable
Keep the starting filter sets, device-specific rules, and troubleshooting purpose easy to explain. Add complexity only after a real problem shows why it is needed.
When personal DNS filtering is the right layer
DNS fits site-level blocks, transparent proxying, device-specific filters and rules, and recent troubleshooting details. It does not replace controls inside apps.
Good DNS-fit problems
Choose Veilty for baseline and enforced Space policies, assigned filters and rules, transparent proxying, and recent activity details.
DNS is a good fit when you want to block malware, phishing, scams, suspicious domains, and a few personal manual blocks without turning DNS into a complicated rule project.
A DNS tool helps when your daily laptop, travel phone, home-office machine, and test device should not all share the same settings because they use different networks or tools.
Recent records can explain blocks, location changes, suspicious requests, or DNS setting changes. Saved details and summaries stay encrypted until a member with access to the relevant Space opens them.

Personal DNS filtering FAQ
Plain answers for people who want more control over their DNS setup, devices, and activity history.
No. DNS filtering decides which sites your devices can reach. Veilty can also change the route for chosen sites, while a VPN usually sends most or all device traffic through another network.
No. Encrypted DNS protects the request while it travels, but the DNS provider still has to read the site name to answer it. Veilty separately encrypts the activity history it saves.
A member with access to the personal Space can open a saved record to see the site name, time, device, action, and matching rule. It cannot show every page, message, video, search, or action inside an app.
Members with access to your personal Space can open its encrypted activity details and summaries. That is normally only you.
Yes. Veilty end-to-end encrypts both detailed activity and private summaries before storing them, so only members with access to the personal Space can read either view.
Only when their needs differ. A daily laptop and travel phone may need different filter or rule sets. Two devices used the same way may not.
Use rules when lists are too broad, and keep them narrow enough to remember. Allow one banking, login, update, or work domain for a clear reason instead of loosening the whole setup.
No DNS filter can see everything inside an app. DNS can reduce known tracker domains, but app settings, browser controls, permissions, and operating-system privacy settings still matter.
A chosen site can use a Veilty connection from another country instead of your real IP. This does not change the country of your whole device, and the site may still use your account, cookies, payment details, GPS, or device settings to identify your region.
