Introducing Custom Client Names
NullPrivate launches a custom client-name feature, letting users intuitively identify and manage DNS configurations for different devices and greatly improving the management experience.
Feature Overview
To enhance the user experience, NullPrivate now supports custom client names. With this feature, you can assign a unique label to each device, making device management more intuitive and convenient.
Configuration Guide
Setup varies slightly by device type:
Android
Simply prepend your custom prefix to the domain:
{device-name}.{original-domain}
Example: xiaomi-15pro.xxxxxxxx.nullprivate.com
iOS
- Open the “Setup Guide” page
- Enter your custom name in the “Client ID” field
- Download and install the new profile
Browser (DoH)
Add the custom identifier after the existing DoH address:
Original:
https://xxxxxxxx.nullprivate.com/dns-query
New:
https://xxxxxxxx.nullprivate.com/dns-query/{device-id}
Example: https://xxxxxxxx.nullprivate.com/dns-query/pc1-browser
Usage Tips
- Use meaningful labels such as device model, location, or purpose.
- Stick to letters, numbers, and hyphens; avoid special characters.
- Maintain a consistent naming convention to simplify future management.
Important Notes
- Custom names only affect the display and do not impact service performance.
- You must re-apply the configuration after changing a name.
- Save each device’s configuration for easy reference later.
