Startup Name: ControlD

Tagline: Bypass geo-restrictions, block tracking, be more productive.

Elevator Pitch: ControlD is a fully customizable secure DNS service, similar to Pi-Hole or NextDNS, but with a transparent proxy functionality, which enables the user to redirect some/all their HTTP(S) traffic through a network of servers in over 100 city level locations. This allows the users to do a whole bunch of stuff, like: – Redirect (proxy) all traffic through any location using only DNS – Unlock geo-restricted services – Create productivity schedules to block or unblock different services – Block ads, trackers, porn, newly registered domains, etc with a single toggle switch. There are 15 bespoke filters to choose from. 3rd party user testing revealed them to be the most effective blocklists you can find online. https://twitter.com/brentcrawford/status/1357191545171177472 This works on all devices, and does not require any apps. There is a free no-payment 30 day trial available, so you can get started in seconds.

Target Market: Developers, Techies, Digital Nomads
