Keep students safe online with DNS filtering: block harmful content, enforce SafeSearch and cover every device on the network.
Requirements schools face
Schools must protect students from harmful content while keeping research and learning tools available, often with limited IT budgets.
Why DNS filtering fits
It covers school-owned and personal devices on the network, requires no software on each device and is quick to adjust.
- Block adult, violent and gambling categories
- Force SafeSearch and YouTube Restricted Mode
- Block proxy and VPN services
- Schedule social media access
Balance and transparency
Over-blocking frustrates teachers. Review blocked requests regularly and give staff a simple way to request allowlisting.
