Identify Your Devices

When you provide a device name, it is appended to the DoH URL inside the profile. This lets you identify individual devices in your Analytics and Logs.

DNS-over-HTTPS

The device name is appended to the DoH URL (URL encoded). For example:

https://doh.cleanbrowsing.org/doh/family-filter/Kids%20iPad
DNS-over-TLS

Prepend the name to the DoT hostname. Use -- for spaces and only use a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and hyphens.

Kids--iPad-family-filter-dns.cleanbrowsing.org

The profile generator above handles this automatically when you enter a device name.
