About

A modernized approach to DNS-based content filtering and security. Easily decide what should, and should not, be allowed on your internet. Effective for our kids, powerful for our business. 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. 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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • NxFilter has been a great solution for our university (UEMASUL – Universidade Estadual da Região Tocantina do Maranhão). It is lightweight, easy to deploy, and offers excellent control over DNS and web filtering policies. The user interface is intuitive, and the reporting tools make it simple to monitor network activity. The support team is responsive and very helpful whenever assistance is needed.
  • What I really like is how simple the installation process is. It sets up quickly on both Windows Server and Linux or another The online documentation is clear and detailed, and the automatic site categorization provided by the database is a real plus.
  • I really appreciate the ease of installation. It installs very easily on Windows Server or on Linux, for example. The online documentation is very comprehensive. The biggest advantage is the database that automatically sorts the sites.

Cons

  • There is a small learning curve at first when setting up policies and user groups, but once configured, it runs very smoothly.
  • Nothing major to point out, just that I didn’t find anything I particularly disliked.
  • Nothing special, worth noting that I didn’t like it.
