@Gasworx I am getting the same warning when running the Deco Lab WiFi test-Network Security Not Secured. Risk of DNS Hijacking. Only started showing this message  within last few days, previously was fine with no warnings.  Anyone help please?

Hi Ive found the problem seems to be with my iPhone which I'm running a public beta maybe this is the problem. When ive tried the apps WiFi assistant on another phone the issue isn't there. So doesn't seem to be a problem with the internet or Deco.

@Gasworx I've been using IOS beta for years but this issue has only just arisen in the last week for myself. I don't have another phone to test

Hi, the Wi-Fi assistant is not only working for the current Deco's network and it could also be used to test other wireless networks;

If you do not mind, you could use Wi-Fi assistant to check another wireless network and if there is no DNS hijack, your smartphone might be not related;

At the same time, would there be more explanation when the APP indicated that there would be any DNS hijack?

 

Thank you very much and wait for your reply.

Hi I have the same problem with the phone on a different WiFi it was showing the same at risk warning. 
Im not sure why the phone is doing this although it did seem to be around the same time as an update to Apples public beta to IOS 14.5 beta 6. The phone has now been updated to beta 7 but the problem didn't go away.

In this way, I think it is more related to the beta version of the IOS system and maybe we need to wait for the official release of the IOS version;

Hi I've not managed to resolve the issue but I think it has something to do with my phone. To prove this I was advised to use the app on another WiFi. 
If it still comes up with the same problem then it will be most likely your device. 
Trying another device using the app can confirm that it isn't your WiFi.
