Hi there, So just watched latest video of Jim Browning and in the video he had a sponsor I had not heard about before, Guard.io. So I went to check it out, and it seems like a fairly decent service (by that I mean, a service I would put on family members devices) for helping against possible phishing attempt and general safeguarding online activity etc.. I currently have installed Ublock Origin in their browsers and pointed their DNS to base.dns.mullvad.net, but that's about it.

So:

  • Anyone had any experience with this service?
  • What's the general consensus around this service?
  • Is it necessary, compared to the measures I mentioned above?
  • Are there any other general measure I could implement on their devices? (they are on both apple and Android ecosystems)

Thanks for any suggestions ๐ŸŒป

Hold on, is that possible in nextDNS? Never seen that option before.

I pay for NextDNS. It's under new profiles on the top left.
