DNS-based Content Filtering

         

CleanBrowsing is a DNS-based content filtering service that offers a safe way to browse the web without surprises. It intercepts domain requests and filter sites that should be blocked, based on your filtering needs. Our, free, family filter, for example, blocks porn, obscene, and adult content, while still allowing Google, Youtube, Bing, DuckDuckGo and the rest of the web to load safely.

CleanBrowsing offers 3 Free filters and Paid options.

Our free filters are comprised of three predefined filters for global consumption (Security, Adult, and Family). The Family filter blocks adult / obscene content and applies Safe Search filters to Google, Bing, Yandex, etc. The security filter, however, only focuses on restricting access to malicious activity.

The paid filters give you full control on what should be blocked. You can pick from 14 predefined filters (Adult, Gaming, Gambling, Torrents, Weapons, Social Network, etc), but also make your own rules and block/allow any domains you wish. Custom block pages can also be created on the Pro plans and all the plans allow for network visibility (see which sites are being visited from your network).

Step by step instructions are available on our Getting Started page [Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Windows, Android].

What Our Users Say About CleanBrowsing?

Thousands of businesses, churches, schools and families are using CleanBrowsing. Here's what some of them have to say.

I just discovered @cleanbrowsing - I've removed Google as the DNS provider for my @The_Pi_Hole and instead replaced it with custom values from https://t.co/olFg7jNPXG - now, what gets through my Pi-Hole will get further filtered by their free service. Thanks!

Protect your browsing with @cleanbrowsing DNS. It's free to use with more features for a small yearly price. Plus, it's easy to setup (https://t.co/ztlzBg9Mad) #DigitalSelfDefense

— Self Defense Daily from Full Circle Self Defense (@SelfDefDaily) January 25, 2020

I use https://t.co/I7qh2dXoMG on all of our devices in the house. None of my kids have smartphones so I'm not sure how good it works there.
It's super easy to set up at home though because it can be set up at the WiFi router to protect everything that connects to it.

— Scott DeLuzio (@scottdeluzio) August 15, 2019

I have this turned on my home network. As a father of three boys it's become almost necessary to protect them from nefarious websites that prey on kids in particular. I really appreciate @cleanbrowsing

— Tadd. (@taddmencer) April 25, 2019

Kudos to @CleanBrowsing - I have long recommended whole network filtering and now CleanBrowsing has made it even better. #ParentingHack #InternetSafety #FamilySafety #Parenting https://t.co/svFEth4VOA pic.twitter.com/cqtdCIlK15

Protect #children against inappropriate content #online (porn, nudity, obscene, harmful to minors, explicit/graphic content and malicious domains) via @cleanbrowsing:
Inside the #DNS (or Network) settings, change the DNS server to the value: 185.228.168.168 (or 185.228.169.168).


DNS-based

The best part about CleanBrowsing is that it doesn't require software installation on your device or network to work. The service can be applied to your network via a DNS change, either at the router or on the machine. We also offer Apps to make the DNS change easier.


Browser Friendly

Different from other internet safety solutions, CleanBrowsing works with all major websites and search providers like YouTube, Google, and Bing! Even better, you may continue to use your browser of choice knowing the service cannot be disabled at the browser level.


Clean Search & Youtube

CleanBrowsing places special emphasis on kids and parents. This means that we deploy Safe Search whenever it's available by the service provider by default. This ensures that search results (including YouTube) are stripped of malicious or obscene content when possible.
