DNS Filter

[mf13tch]

Hi there,

 

Is anyone out there using this product - DNSFilter

 

DNS Threat Protection & Content Filtering Powered by Machine Learning | DNSFilter

 

We're looking at the roaming client install for our 1:1 program devices so that they have web filtering when they are away from the schools network.

 

Cheers,

I wouldn't touch that with a 10m pole for a 1:1 program. You need something that sits on the device between the student and the Internet. I recently setup the cloud version of Lightspeed for our 1:1 Chromebook rollout this fall. The filter is great and with a couple weeks time on it looks to be doing it's job extremely well. Deployed the app through the Google console and had it all configured in under an hour. There is quite a lot of room to negotiate on price as well.

Thanks for the feedback.

but it is an agent software that sits on the device... ...maybe I linked the wrong page - it's called their roaming client.

Works pretty similar to the lightspeed agent as I understand it.

Looks like it does Windows, iOS and Chromebook

 

 

Edit - yep looks like I should have linked this page: Roaming Clients | DNS Threat Protection (dnsfilter.com)

How does it work with DNS over HTTPS? Does it category block these/how does it know

 

Things like DoH and QUIC are just sods, but never seen how one of these clients handles it.
