Feature Requests

Hi Tech Lockdown team, I'm a paid subscriber and love the product — it's the best solution I've found for serious distraction blocking. One feature I'd love to see is support for custom DNS-over-HTTPS endpoints, specifically to allow locking DNS to a NextDNS profile. Supporting NextDNS is general would be great. Currently the DNS lockdown only supports Cloudflare, but many users (myself included) use NextDNS because it allows custom blocklists and per-profile rules — like blocking YouTube specifically. Without the ability to lock to a custom DoH endpoint like https://dns.nextdns.io/[profile-id] , it's possible to bypass the NextDNS profile by changing DNS settings at the device level. Adding a "Custom DoH endpoint" field in the DNS lockdown configuration would close this gap and make Tech Lockdown significantly more powerful for users who rely on NextDNS for content filtering. Thanks for building such a great product — happy to provide more detail if helpful.

A suggestion if possible please allow having the dot ".' character be allowed into blocking an address keyword option.

I would like to suggest to disable the ability to paste text into the random text unlock profile option. It bypasses typing the random text if you screenshot the image of the generated text and then if you upload the image to an ai tool or image to text generator which will type out the text for you and then you can just quicjly copy and paste it into the random text unlock field. It significantly reduces the time to unlock the profile and bypasses the intended use for the locking option. Would be great to have only typing option.

Hey there I’m considering getting a Mac and wonder about the different layers of restrictions for it. The Mac wouldn’t be my main computer, that would still be my iPad, which is already well locked. The Mac would really just be a utility for the processes an iPad can’t do, but I don’t envision needing the admin password for the Mac once I’ve got it set up with the apps I need. I can put this admin password physically away from me, but wondering if a non-admin user account would be sufficiently locked down then (if possible to enforce DNS and the like)? I wonder if you might be able to let me know? Thanks

Please add dashboard.techlockdown.com for whitelist option, I can't enter techlockdown when internet Downtime is Applied

For instance, I want to block all sites on my phone at all times (always downtime), but I want to still be able to access necessary sites on my laptop. Currently it doesn't seem possible to do this?

A good preset allowlist for ordering Taxis like Uber Bolt etc. I can't get it working by myself for some reason. Is quite difficult when you have internet blocked and you need to get a taxi in the morning to the airport otherwise ;)

Send browsing history reports to an accountability buddy on a regular basis.

The user should be able to set preferences for what happens when their profile is locked. Currently the behavior is the same for everyone: https://www.techlockdown.com/tutorials/lock-profile Users should be able to customize the locked profile behavior. Examples: Choose specific apps or categories that can always be toggled. Currently, any selected items in an Allow rule cannot be deselected. It might be useful to let the user pick specific categories that are enforced instead of enforcing everything.

What I was really hoping for in this product was more granular control over especially DNS and VPN so I could force funneling all traffic through infrastructure I control and can baton down but still gain some advantage like ad-free solutions (PiHole, etc.), or other more granular filters.
