<your-id>.cloud.blokada.org- DoH link (DNS over HTTPS)
https://cloud.blokada.org/<your-id>
The DNS names and links on this page contain <your-id>, a short code for your device. Sign in to the dashboard to see yours. If you open this guide with the dashboard’s “Open on another device” link, it is filled in for you.
Mullvad is closing its free public DNS service on 2 November 2026 and recommends Quad9 instead. Quad9 blocks malware but does not block ads or trackers. When Mullvad's DNS stops, devices set to it stop loading websites and apps. Where a device is allowed to fall back to another DNS server, ads come back instead. Switch before that date.
This page is about the public DNS names ending in dns.mullvad.net. It does not cover the Mullvad VPN app.
What you used, and what to pick in Blokada
| Mullvad DNS name | What it blocked | In the Blokada dashboard |
|---|---|---|
dns.mullvad.net |
nothing | Blokada is a filtering service. If you want no filtering, Quad9 or your provider's DNS is the simpler choice. |
adblock.dns.mullvad.net |
ads, trackers | an ad and tracker blocklist |
base.dns.mullvad.net |
ads, trackers, malware | add a malware list |
extended.dns.mullvad.net |
base plus social media | add a social media list |
family.dns.mullvad.net |
base plus adult content and gambling | add adult content and gambling lists |
all.dns.mullvad.net |
all of the above | turn on all of them |
You choose blocklists in the dashboard under Blocklists. You can change them at any time, and the change applies to all your devices.
Switch each device
Blokada gives each device its own name, so the dashboard can show activity per device. Depending on the device, you need your DNS name or your DoH link, both under Your details above.
Android
Mullvad's guide had you enter a hostname under Private DNS. Replace it with your Blokada DNS name. The Android guide has the steps.
iPhone, iPad and Mac
Mullvad's setup used a configuration profile. Remove it first:
- iPhone and iPad: Settings → General → VPN & Device Management, tap the Mullvad DNS profile, then Remove Profile.
- Mac: open the list of profiles (System Settings → General → Device Management on macOS 15 and later, System Settings → Privacy & Security → Profiles on macOS 13 and 14, System Preferences → Profiles on macOS 12 and earlier), select the Mullvad DNS profile and click −.
Then install the Blokada profile from the Apple guide.
Browsers
If you entered a Mullvad DoH link such as https://adblock.dns.mullvad.net/dns-query under secure DNS or DNS over HTTPS, replace it with your DoH link. The browser guide has the steps for each browser.
Router
If your router uses Mullvad over DNS over TLS, replace the Mullvad hostname with your Blokada DNS name, and remove Mullvad's IP addresses. The router guide covers common models.
Check that it works
Open a few websites, then look at the Activity page in the dashboard. You see your devices' lookups there, with blocked ones marked. If a device doesn't show up, it is still using another DNS server.
