⚠️ Important: Content Filtering is an additional service. If you are interested in the service, please get in touch with your Account Manager.

Our DNS-based Web Content Filtering solution provides a powerful, flexible, and easy-to-deploy way to protect your network from unwanted or harmful content. Backed by a leading Content Filtering provider, this service ensures your users stay safe and productive online.


How it works

Content Filtering works by checking the webpage addresses being accessed by customers and preventing access to prohibited categories of websites.


The process is simple:

  1. Customers request access to a website.

  2. The request goes through the Internet.

  3. Our Content Filtering DNS Server evaluates the domain.

  4. If the site falls under blocked categories, it blocks inappropriate content.
