Protect this Mac

The Haven profile does it in about two clicks — no Terminal needed.

  1. Download the Haven protection profile
  2. Double-click the downloaded file
  3. Open System Settings, search for Profiles, double-click Haven Protective DNS, and click Install
    A yellow "unverified" label is expected — your Mac is just noting the profile isn't from an app store.
  4. Verify below

To undo later: System Settings → Profiles → Haven Protective DNS → Remove.

Prefer the command line? haven-protect.sh sets classic DNS (revert): run with sudo sh ~/Downloads/haven-protect.sh.

Rather have someone talk you through it?

The Haven Guide will walk you through every tap and click, out loud, at your pace — and wait for you between steps.

Starting it loads a voice widget from ElevenLabs, which means your browser connects to them. Nothing on this page contacts them until you press the button.

Haven will try to reach two harmless test destinations that protective DNS should refuse. Nothing is downloaded.

Stuck already, or the check will not run? The likely causes are written out — no connection to Haven needed to read them.
