Still Showing Inactive?

• iPhone: check that Control+ is selected under Settings → General → VPN & Device Management → DNS. If you use a Private DNS setting or a VPN app that provides its own DNS, it can conflict with Browsing Protection — turn it off and try again.
• Restart your phone and check again.

If it's still inactive, see Browsing Protection Is Not Working — Troubleshooting.

How to Turn It Off

In the Control+ app, go to Home → Browsing Protection and turn it off. We recommend keeping it on for full protection.
