DNS Protection Against Cyber Threats

Malicious websites (ransomware distribution sites, phishing pages, exploit kits), command-and-control traffic (used by malware to talk to attacker infrastructure), and configurable categories like adult content or gambling if you want workplace filtering. All at the DNS lookup layer — before the connection is even made.

Traditional web filters usually sit on the network gateway and only work when devices are in the office or on the corporate VPN. DNS protection travels with the device — office, home, hotel Wi-Fi, all covered. No VPN required, no on-device browser plug-ins.

The opposite, usually. DNS lookups go through a globally distributed anycast network that's often faster than your ISP's default DNS. Users typically notice slightly faster browsing, not slower.

Not easily. The client software prevents users from changing their local DNS settings, and browser-level DNS-over-HTTPS is blocked at the network layer where required. It's designed to be uncircumventable for standard users.

Yes — via mobile agents on iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. Public Wi-Fi (airports, cafés, hotels) becomes safer because the DNS filtering follows the device rather than the network.

You'll see it in the monthly report. Each blocked request is logged with category, threat classification, source device, and destination. This tells us where users are attempting to browse and whether phishing links from emails are actually being clicked.
