Edtech is watching.
Companies like Hapara, GoGuardian, and Gaggle have built a billion-dollar industry on student surveillance. We're here to expose it and help you fight back.
One Setting. Total Protection.
Our free DNS service is purpose-built to neutralize school surveillance software. Change one network setting and take back control of your device.
Block Spyware
Blocks the servers that Hapara, GoGuardian, Securly, and other surveillance tools need to function. No connection means no monitoring.
Bypass Filters
Routes your DNS requests through our servers instead of your school's, sidestepping category-based web filters and unlocking access.
Block Ads & Trackers
Includes the HaGeZi blocklist to automatically block ads, trackers, and malicious domains for a cleaner, faster browsing experience.
How It Works
Set up in under two minutes. No software to install, no accounts to create.
Change Your DNS
Open your device's network settings and replace the default DNS with our server addresses. We have step-by-step guides for every platform.
We Intercept the Spyware
When surveillance software tries to "phone home," our DNS blocks those requests. The software can't receive instructions or send your data.
Browse Freely
With surveillance neutralized and web filters bypassed, you get a private, unrestricted browsing experience — the way it should be.
peer-reviewed studies prove that constant surveillance makes students safer. It's a system built on corporate profit, not student well-being — despite being used in over 80% of schools.
Open Source
Every line of code is public. Audit it, fork it, self-host it — total transparency.
No Tracking
We don't track your identity, sell your data, or serve ads. We believe privacy is a right.
Student-Led
Built by students, for students. We're a community, not a corporation.
Encrypted DNS
Supports DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS, and DNS-over-QUIC for maximum security.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the DNS actually stop school spyware?
Spyware like Hapara and GoGuardian relies on "phoning home" to their servers to report your screen activity. Our DNS service identifies these connection requests and blocks them. If the spyware can't connect to its command server, it can't send your data or receive instructions to monitor your screen.
What devices and platforms does this work on?
Our DNS works on virtually any device that lets you change network settings: ChromeOS (including managed Chromebooks via chrome://network), Windows, macOS, iOS, iPadOS, Android, and Linux. Visit ourDNS Service pagefor step-by-step instructions tailored to each platform.
Will I get in trouble for using this?
Our DNS acts as a network setting change rather than a hack installed on your device. While we provide the tools to protect your privacy, you should always be aware of your school's Acceptable Use Policy. We believe privacy is a human right, but how you exercise that right is your decision.
Does this also unblock websites and games?
Yes. By routing your DNS requests through our servers, you bypass many of the category-based web filters schools use to block content. This often unlocks access to games, streaming services, and other websites that have been arbitrarily restricted.
Is this really free? Do you sell my data?
The DNS service is 100% free and open source — you can evenself-host it yourself. We are a student-led initiative, not a data broker. We do not serve you ads, track your identity, or sell your data. For full details on how we protect your information, please read our Privacy Policy.
Can my school see that I'm using a different DNS?
Yes, they can. While a custom DNS bypasses their software blocks, it doesn't make you invisible on the network. If your school monitors traffic, they can see that your device is connecting to our DNS servers instead of theirs. Using encrypted DNS (DoH/DoT/DoQ) hides the content of your queries, so they can't see what websites you're looking up—but they still know you're using our service. Furthermore, a custom DNS is not a VPN. Even with encrypted DNS, network administrators might still figure out which websites you visit by looking at the IP addresses you connect to or by inspecting unencrypted SNI data.
