CleanBrowsing provides an innovative way to web security inside your network. Instead of simply guarding the network and filtering the traffic that passes through, this tool focuses on the web pages that browsers try to access. Key features:
The basic version is completely free.
No software on site that you have to deal with
You can block access to certain websites or types of websites.
Extremely easy to use
Essentially, CleanBrowsing works as a DNS resolver. When one of your employees tries to visit a web page, their browser of choice interprets the URL as an Internet address. Your DNS resolver gets this address by cross-referencing with a DNS server. However, instead of simply returning the resulting address, this tool first checks the page botim database for signs that it is infected, contains malicious content, or is impersonating you. The tool is surprisingly simple: it assigns the service’s address as the browser’s default DNS server .
You can also set up this redirection manually by changing your network router settings, which in turn applies the DNS service to all devices on your network. CleanBrowsing operates from data centers around the world, providing lightning-fast response times and ensuring that the tool is always available . The tool does nothing for malicious traffic other than delivering the requested web pages. Since it’s free, it’s still a great choice for home users and small businesses. Its paid version allows you to set up custom filtering rules and also covers more endpoints and devices.
