How to use dynamic DNS
- Open this page in Safari on your iPhone/iPad, then tap Install NexDNS.
- After download, open Settings and tap Profile Downloaded.
- Tap Install (top-right), enter your passcode if asked, then confirm the install prompts.
- After confirming, select the NexDNS Dynamic profile in the DNS options in Settings → General → VPN & Device Management.
- Reconnect Wi-Fi (or toggle Cellular Data) so DNS changes apply, then continue with your normal setup.
- You must use a supported sideloading app when using NexDNS Dynamic. Currently the only supported apps are:
What do we block? Allowlist, Denylist (While Installing), Denylist (After Installing).
IMPORTANT
- After any DNS change: reconnect Wi-Fi or toggle mobile data so the new rules are actually applied.
- Install flow tip: use your “While Installing” DNS during install + first launch, then switch to your “Use After Installing Apps” DNS profile/rules.
- Run the app once first before switching to the “Use After Installing Apps” DNS setup.
Bonus tip (important): prevent early internet after reboot
Be careful after restarting your device. iOS applies the DNS after first unlock. If Wi-Fi or mobile data connects before unlock, blocked domains may become reachable.
- Wi-Fi: disable Auto-Join for your network (Settings → Wi-Fi → your network → Auto-Join off).
- Cellular: turn mobile data off before reboot, then turn it back on after first unlock.
