These steps configure DadsDNS for ANFS Families as the DNS resolver for a specific network service (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet) on your Mac.

Take note of any DNS addresses you might have set up, and save them in a safe place in case you need to use them later.

  1. Go to System Settings. You can find it by pressing CMD + Space on your keyboard and typing System Settings.
  2. Go to Network.
  3. Select a network service.
  4. Select Details.
  5. Go to DNS.
  6. Under DNS Servers, select Add.
  7. Depending on what you want to configure, choose one of the following DNS addresses for IPv4:
family.dadsdns.site
1.1.1.3
1.0.0.3
  1. Depending on what you want to configure, choose one of the following DNS addresses for IPv6:

Note: DadsDNS is not IPv6-enabled yet. The following information is for the Cloudflare Family DNS resolver.

Block malware with 1.1.1.1 for Families

2606:4700:4700::11122606:4700:4700::1002

Block malware and adult content with 1.1.1.1 for Families

2606:4700:4700::11132606:4700:4700::1003
  1. Select OK.

Note

Setting a static IP address to configure a DNS server may prevent you from connecting to some public Wi-Fi networks that use captive portals — the web pages some wireless networks use to require users to log in before using their services.

If you are experiencing connectivity issues related to captive portals:

  1. Remove the static IP addresses from the device.
  2. Connect to the Wi-Fi network.
  3. Once the connection has been established, re-add the static IP addresses.
