EDUCATION

A: We have Education & Non-profit plan that is used by schools, colleges, universities, and other nonprofit organizations. It can serve more than 100 users per location. It is possible to add 500 domains to the Allow/Deny lists separately and either completely restrict or allow free access to this or that resource.  You can rely on your administrator privileges and priority phone support option. Also, remember that the SafeDNS Agent app can be installed on your iPads. This plan will cost you 400 USD.

A: If you are interested in our services, let me explain a bit about how SafeDNS works.

SafeDNS is a web filter based on DNS technology. Using SafeDNS, you will be able to block individual websites (domains) and certain categories of websites, enable Safe Search for Google and Bing, as well as the Restricted mode for YouTube. It is possible to use the service in a few different ways: it can be set up on your router to filter the whole network, and/or you can install the SafeDNS Agent to filter individual devices. The agent is available for Windows, Linux, MacOS, and Android systems. iOS Agent is coming soon. You can set up our service on the router, and you will get the filter on all the connected devices automatically. Alternatively, you can install the SafeDNS agent on each device. This way, devices have different filtering policies at the same time. The agent can also work together with the router setup, so devices with the agent can get traffic that is filtered according to different policies.

We have several plans that meet any user’s needs. For instance, our Education & Nonprofit Plan can be relevant for you.

A: On the Education & Nonprofit Plan, you can have a minimum of 100 users per location.

ISPs

A: SafeDNS ISP Filter is an internet traffic filtering system developed by SafeDNS. The service can restrict access to specific URLs, domain names, or IP addresses. There is an opportunity to create your own filtering rules using the command-line tools (Filter-CTL Filter) or the web interface. The system includes the SafeDNS ISP Filter Check utility, which allows you to check the quality of the filter on your own.
Here are useful links for guides about ISP description and installation.

SECURITY

A: Our DNS servers are protected from such cyberattacks as DNS cache poisoning. We can guarantee that our servers will always respond with the correct information to your requests. However, DNS traffic from a customer to our servers is not encrypted by default, so a MITM attack may occur. If you need to protect your DNS traffic, you can use our feature named DoT (DNS over TLS). Here you can take a look at the detailed guide on how to encrypt your DNS requests with the SafeDNS web filtering solution.
