Why DNS filtering

Most attacks start with a link

Phishing emails, poisoned ads and compromised websites all rely on someone reaching a bad domain. DNS filtering stops that connection before the page ever loads, even when a user clicks. Get a free security review →

  • Phishing links get clicked

    Even trained staff click a convincing link now and then.

  • Laptops leave the office

    Home and public Wi-Fi bypass the office firewall.

  • Unwanted content on work devices

    Schools and public spaces need Safe Search and category controls.

What is DNS filtering?

DNS turns website names into addresses. DNS filtering checks each request against threat and category lists and blocks dangerous or unwanted ones before the site loads.

What is DNS Safe Search?

It forces the safe search mode of search engines, so explicit results are filtered out. Schools, libraries and many businesses use it.

Will it slow down our internet?

No. The check happens in milliseconds as part of the normal DNS lookup.

Does it replace a firewall or antivirus?

No. It is one layer that stops many threats early, working alongside a managed firewall and endpoint protection.
