Security Settings
The Security section controls your core protection features:
Content Filtering - Choose between None (Default), Malware Protection, or Malware + Adult Content filtering levels. This uses DNS filtering to block harmful domains.
DNS Encryption - Enables DNS-over-HTTPS to encrypt domain lookups. Strongly recommended.
Tor Routing - Routes traffic through the Tor network for maximum anonymity. Significantly slower but provides strong privacy.
WARP - Enables Cloudflare's WARP service for additional security layer. Can be used alongside or instead of VPN.
Disable Windows Recall - Prevents Windows 11's Recall feature from taking screenshots of your activity.
