How to block gambling sites on iPhone
Updated
Understand iPhone Screen Time, DNS VPN protection and Safari extensions before choosing a gambling-site blocking setup.
- Screen Time restrictions and network filtering serve different purposes.
- Dando’s iPhone app is awaiting release.
- Check VPN status and the permissions required by your chosen app.
Screen Time and network filtering
Screen Time lets you configure web restrictions and restrict changes. It is not the same as a service that maintains a gambling-domain list. Network filtering can complement those restrictions for supported connections.
What to check before using Dando
The iOS implementation includes DNS VPN protection and Safari integration, with an additional URL filter on supported iOS versions. Availability and coverage depend on release approval, system version and permissions.
Do not assume that a browser extension protects every app. Check the protection status after setup or restarting, and follow the release instructions when the app becomes available.
Frequently asked questions
Can I install the Dando iPhone app now?
It is awaiting distribution. Check Dando’s download section for the current release status.
Will Chrome and Edge also be covered?
DNS VPN protection can cover their connections through the protected resolver. Safari-only features do not automatically apply to other browsers.
