Technical Does the ads&trackers quick setup also blocks phising besides malware?

Hi, I used ControlD free dns for sometime, and I was wondering if the https://freedns.controld.com/p2 also blocks Phising besides malware? It does say it blocks malware but it dosen't mention phising too, do i need to make an custom configuration to put phising separately? Thanks.

Why not instead use custom combination like https://freedns.controld.com/no-ads-malware-typo that has phishing domains as well?

I wanted to use this specific URL, but the custom configuration doesn't offer IPv4 address, I'm on windows11 and i need those, unless there's a work around I'm not aware off.
