How does Croton work?
Before your device opens a website, it asks a DNS server for directions. Croton is that server. When a site is on a list you've chosen to block, Croton doesn't give directions, so your device never connects. This works in every app and browser on the device, not just one.
What can Croton block?
Malware and phishing sites, ads and trackers, adult content and gambling are blocked at all times when turned on. Social media, gaming, streaming, dating and AI chatbots can be blocked always or outside the hours you choose. You can also allow or block individual domains.
Will Croton slow down my internet?
No. Because ads and trackers are blocked before they load, pages often render faster and use less data. Croton's servers are built for low latency, so the lookup itself adds no noticeable delay.
What devices does Croton work on?
Any device that lets you set an encrypted DNS server: Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome and Firefox, and routers that support DNS over TLS or HTTPS. You can set it up on each device or on a supported router to cover the whole network.
Is my browsing data private?
Croton only sees the domain names your device looks up, such as example.com, never the specific pages you visit or anything you send or receive. Your query history is stored privately in your account, and it is never sold or shared with third parties.
