Control D was born out of the journey that started with Windscribe, a privacy and security company founded by three engineers in 2016. Building Windscribe taught us the importance of having a robust DNS filtering and management solution to support online privacy, and it became clear that a focused DNS platform could serve broader needs. Initially, our challenge was to reconcile Windscribe's strict no-logging policy with the necessity of identifying DNS clients, which led to Control D being spun off as an independent product. Control D has since grown into a dedicated DNS security platform with a broader mission: to empower businesses of all sizes with more secure and customizable internet experiences.

We are a team of passionate software, network, and systems engineers, driven by an obsession for excellence. We listen, we iterate, and we act fast to deliver products that our customers truly value. The founders are still actively involved in community discussions, making sure users have a voice in shaping the product and ensuring that every problem is addressed with urgency. Control D is not just a DNS solution—it’s a tool for control, insight, and ultimately, safety online, designed to meet the needs of both individuals and growing businesses.

Control D is designed for a wide range of users, from small and medium-sized businesses to large enterprises, as well as individuals seeking enhanced online security and control. Businesses that need a customizable DNS solution to manage their network security, filter content, and monitor internet usage will find Control D to be an ideal fit.
