Control D is a configurable resolver from the Windscribe team that lets you block ads and malware, redirect or unblock specific services, and set per-device profiles from a web dashboard. There are free no-log public resolvers you can use without an account, plus a free personal plan; paid tiers run roughly $2–3/month (Some Control and Full Control) for custom rules and analytics. It is one of the most protocol-complete options here, supporting DoH, DoH3, DoT, DoQ, and plain DNS. The company is based in Toronto, Canada and its ctrld forwarding client is open source even though the service itself is not. As with any hosted resolver, its redirect features mean trusting Windscribe’s infrastructure with more of your traffic.
