Where Does DNSCloak Store DNS Config?
DNSCloak keeps DNS server lists and rules locally on iOS with iCloud sync for settings. Logs stay per device for privacy.
Last updated
DNSCloak encrypts iOS DNS from local storage first. Server lists with DoH endpoints, per-app rules, and blocklists persist per install with iCloud sync bridging devices. Query logs stay on-device deliberately.
That makes iCloud the migration for lists with logs as the exception. Exact behaviors may vary by version. Keep the VPN profile enabled; iOS drops it after some updates. Blocklists update weekly upstream. Custom rules override defaults. Logs export for troubleshooting. Profiles switch per network.
Where DNSCloak stores this, by platform
DNSCloak app > Servers (local + iCloud)
Lists sync via iCloud; logs stay local. Exact folder names may vary by version. Re-enable the VPN profile after iOS updates.
Frequently asked questions
Do DNS settings sync between devices?
Yes for server lists and rules with iCloud sync enabled in settings. Logs stay local by design. Reinstalls restore lists on login. Re-enable profiles post-update.
How do I add custom DNS servers?
Pick a DoH server from the built-in list or add a custom address, then enable the VPN profile. Rules whitelist apps that break under filtering. Test with leak checks afterward.
