Intra vs. Control D

Intra provides a means to circumvent websites and applications that have been restricted through Domain Name System (DNS) manipulation, a common approach to online censorship. Beyond this, it also defends against phishing schemes and malware attacks, which aim to steal sensitive data like usernames and passwords or to infect your devices by sending you to fake websites. Activating Intra is remarkably simple — just switch it on and you can forget about it entirely. Plus, it doesn’t slow down your internet speed, and there are no limits on your data usage. Your privacy remains a priority with Intra, as it refrains from tracking the applications you use or the sites you visit. Additionally, you have the flexibility to select your own DNS server provider, giving you greater control over your online experience. Intra encrypts your connection to public DNS servers, enhancing your security further. Essentially, DNS servers act like a directory for the internet, providing the correct addresses that allow you to access websites or run applications. With Intra, you can navigate the digital landscape with assurance and peace of mind, knowing that your online activities are protected. This comprehensive approach not only guards your data but also enhances your overall internet experience, making Intra a valuable tool for users seeking both freedom and security online.
