THE WHYSOOOOFURIOUS DNS BLOCKER WILL STOP WORKING WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK!

FOLLOW STEP 1 AND 2 TO MAKE YOUR OWN DNS!

Disclaimer: This costs me money! While I can easily afford this, I'd really appreciate some sort of donations, even if it is 50cents lol. Thank you!

Here is the PayPal donation link!

This will help me keep this service free and not charge $20 like signing services

Introduction

Hello, Welcome to my guide on how to sideload on Apple Devices using a method I came across to a while back. This sideloading method has worked for long periods of time, without any app limits and without a pc. I eventually found some small let-downs such as the go-to DNS at the time was and is still made by some random Vietnamese guy with no open-sourced data which naturally has some privacy concerns. ESign also had undesirable analytics which are now blocked by my DNS.

After a few months of using both of these services I decided to reverse-engineer the DNS and how the enterprise signed ESign was downloaded over the web with the click of a button. With enabling better preventions against revokes unlike other people who keep on using other people's DNS and put no effort in themselves with bad instructions to say the least.

Some of the advantages with using this method

  • Free!
  • No PC at all!
  • On Device Signing!
  • No App Limit!
  • Easy to setup and use!
  • Takes 10 minutes to setup!

My DNS is compatible with other services such as Scarlet, Feather and any other enterprise signing app, More info here

Without further ado, welcome to my Ultimate Sideloading Guide, if you have any issues, requests or ideas please make an issue here on GitHub.

Scarlet, Feather and other sideloaders

My DNS is compatible with all services as long as they rely on enterprise certificates to install.

Feather is also available to download and the steps should be similar as ESign's

Follow Part 1 of my main guide to install the DNS blocker for these services.

You do not need to follow Part 3, 4 and 5 as these install ESign itself.

How does this method work?

By using leaked business enterprise certificates, We can sign apps using their credentials which means Apple lets us install the apps without any hassle, however after a while Apple revokes the certificate, this is where the DNS Blocker comes in, the DNS blocker blocks Apple servers from contacting your device about the expired/revoked/blacklisted certificate which in turn lets you use the apps for however long you'd like. The DNS also blocks ESign analytics.

Before we start

  • This will NOT unrevoke your apps! If you need to fix revokes, use this guide
  • Make sure you have not been using services such as Scarlet and Feather before as the certificates used to install ESign on your device might be revoked!
  • If you are blacklisted or revoked from Apple for already using services such as Scarlet and Feather you will need to follow this guide
  • This method will work as long as you read and do all of the steps required

Compatibility

This should work for all iOS, iPadOS and even macOS devices, on the latest versions of all iOS, iPadOS and macOS.

Beta versions will work but may become revoked around the 1 week mark. It is better to be on a release version!

Versions that might not be supported are below iOS 12, iPadOS 13 and macOS 11.

Miscellaneous Guides

Using a VPN

So you want to use a VPN with the DNS blocker, follow the steps below and you should be able to use your VPN normally and on-demand, I still do not recommend using a VPN with the DNS, You should know how to configure your VPN's DNS server yourself as there are different steps for each VPN app.

Method 1

  1. 45.90.28.51 and 45.90.30.51 are the DNS servers you need to replace in your VPN's settings

Revoked? or Blacklisted?

So you've gotten yourself blacklisted, either from my DNS (which seems very unlikely) or from another creator's DNS. Follow the methods listed below and you should be unrevoked.

Use Method 2 if Method 1 does not work.

You must not use your backups with Method 2 otherwise you will get revoked again.

Method 1

  1. Back up your device, here is a guide
  2. After backing up, reset your device, here is a guide
  3. Now if you have an iCloud backup you should be prompted to restore from your backup after logging in to your Apple ID, if you have a local backup all you need to do is plug your phone in, go on either Finder for macOS or iTunes for Windows and click on restore backup from your device's menu
  4. Then follow Part 1 and 2 of the guide to prevent revokes in the future

Method 2

  1. Follow this guide
  2. Then follow Part 1 and 2 of the guide to prevent revokes in the future
