Domain exceptions & custom DNS

Exceptions apply to the domain and its subdomains. They bypass this DNS profile, so your Wi-Fi or mobile network handles those lookups.

RTA, nol, UAE PASS and listed bank domains bypass ad filtering; other domains still use ad-blocking DNS. Apps may use other domains too; add those here if needed.

A custom provider controls its own filtering. Exceptions still apply; compatibility depends on that provider.

Ready in a few steps

Install once.
Stay in control.

Replace your old Zem DNS profile first so only the new settings are active.

  1. Remove the old DNS profile

    Settings → General → VPN & Device Management. Open the old Zem profile and tap Remove Profile.

  2. Download and install

    Download in Safari, then open Settings → Profile Downloaded → Install. Your device may ask for its passcode.

  3. Try your everyday apps

    Check RTA, nol, UAE PASS and your bank. If ad-block mode causes trouble, install Everyday compatibility instead, or add the affected domain to exceptions and reinstall.

A few useful things to know.

Will every app work, and will every ad disappear?

No DNS profile can guarantee both. Everyday compatibility avoids AdGuard's filtering lists. Ad-block mode can affect third-party app dependencies, and cannot remove every in-app or video ad. VPNs, network restrictions and the app itself can also affect access.

Why does my iPhone say “Not Signed”?

Profiles generated in your browser are unsigned. A publisher name is not a digital signature. A genuine signed download needs Zem's signing certificate and private key; “Verified” additionally depends on the device trusting the certificate chain. Unsigned does not mean the profile is a VPN or grants access to your banking data.

What changes when I turn on a VPN?

A VPN may supply its own DNS and override this profile. Some banking and government apps reject VPN connections; disconnect the VPN before checking a DNS issue.

How do I turn it off?

Open Settings → General → VPN & Device Management and remove the Zem DNS profile. This restores your network's normal DNS behavior.
