Web filtering controls access to websites based on predefined rules, either using software or hardware solutions. It helps block harmful, inappropriate, or distracting websites, such as those hosting malware or adult content.
Web filtering not only protects users from harmful content but also prevents exposure to online threats such as phishing and malware. By controlling what websites can be accessed, it ensures a safer, more controlled browsing experience, tailored to the specific needs of any environment—whether at home, in schools, or in the workplace.
Web Filtering is widely used by schools, businesses, and families to create safer, more productive online environments.

CleanBrowsing offers a robust web filtering solution powered by DNS technology that is both easy to deploy and manage. By filtering web traffic at the DNS level, CleanBrowsing can block harmful or inappropriate websites before they load, ensuring a safer browsing experience. Our platform provides customizable filtering policies, real-time threat detection, and comprehensive protection for families, schools, and organizations worldwide.
We achieve this level of web filtering by acting as a DNS resolver, a key component of the internet’s infrastructure. DNS, often called the "lookup table of the web," translates domain names into IP addresses, allowing users to navigate the internet easily. By leveraging this system, we determine whether a domain should be allowed or blocked based on the filtering preferences set by network administrators.
