# Additional recommendations
* Follow my iOS settings [here](https://codeberg.org/celenity/ios-settings).
* Use a private, secure, & reputable DNS provider of your choice. I would recommend setting up your own [NextDNS](https://nextdns.io/) configuration if you are able to *(See my recommendations for NextDNS [here](https://codeberg.org/celenity/nextdns-settings))*, otherwise I would recommend [Quad9](https://quad9.net/).
* Enable [Lockdown Mode](https://support.apple.com/105120).
* Use a (reputable) VPN. I would generally recommend either [Mullvad](https://mullvad.net/), [IVPN](https://www.ivpn.net/), or [ProtonVPN](https://protonvpn.com/).
