"If you'd like to expand your privacy system-wide, you can install configuration profiles on your iPhone to control DNS, VPN, Wi-Fi, and more. These can be removed at any time, and you should only install profiles from trusted sources. Here's how to install a configuration profile on an iPhone: Open Safari and download a profile (a .mobileconfig file). Go to your iPhone settings, then General, and VPN & Device Management. Tap the profile name and install it; you'll be prompted to enter your iPhone passcode."
"Most users add a private DNS service on their iPhones to increase protection against tracking. Some services can log and monetize your browsing, but most popular private DNS providers don't. While your internet provider has a built-in DNS, you're left unprotected when you use public Wi-Fi networks, like at a hotel, short-term rental, or airport. Beyond that, a private DNS service can also stop your iPhone from accidentally connecting to dangerous domains and can even block ads."
Configuration profiles (.mobileconfig) can be installed on iPhone to manage DNS, VPN, Wi‑Fi and other system settings and can be removed anytime. Download a profile in Safari, then open Settings > General > VPN & Device Management to find and install the profile; installation requires the iPhone passcode. After installation, verify the profile appears under Configuration Profiles in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management. Private DNS services improve privacy by reducing tracking, blocking ads, preventing connections to dangerous domains, and can be faster than ISP DNS, especially on public Wi‑Fi. Trusted providers include Cloudflare, NextDNS, Quad9, AdGuard DNS, CleanBrowsing, and Google Cloud DNS.
