About

DNSGuard is a high-performance, privacy-focused DNS resolver which blocks ads, trackers, phishing sites and malware before they can load. Alongside plain DNS for compatibility, it supports modern encrypted DNS standards such as DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH), DNS-over-TLS (DoT) and DNS-over-QUIC (DoQ). Designed for speed and reliability, DNSGuard routes queries through multiple redundant servers to ensure uptime, even under heavy traffic. It never keeps any logs, making it ideal for privacy-conscious individuals, families, businesses, schools and hosting providers. Setting it up is simple: just point your device or network to DNSGuard and enjoy a cleaner, faster and more secure internet.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's easy to configure, works fine and efficiently. This product covers almost every content that we wanted to block. Since we've installed FlashStart, our students had never seen bad web content again.
  • This was a very easy setup. Just added to my router and it started working right away. Had a couple websites that it was blocking that we used and adding them to the allow list was quick and simple. Glad I found the website. Much simpler than trying to setup my own filter.
  • Tool well-built and simple to use. Possibility of implementation at network level or directly at endpoints. Anycast network with excellent performance in all major locations. Fast and efficient support. Current technology integrated with artificial intelligence where we can really guarantee security. Collection method and attractive prices.
  • FlashStart is set up in a few minutes and is a high value solution for our customers. Malware Protection works at its best. As a customer, you retrieve reports every week showing nicely how effectively protection works. The team from FlashStart works close with its partners and is implementing ideas proposed by them.

Cons

  • Honestly there's nothing to me to be considered as a con.
  • Figuring out what package I needed to purchase. It's sold based of the number of devices connected and it took me awhile to figure that out as a school we get a lot of extra devices connected to our network at different times. It would be nice if the filter would of kept a tally of how many devices hit it during my trial.
  • So far everything is perfect, as expected. In occasional problems related to small details such as uncategorized local domains, we called support and were quickly attended to.
  • In five years of using FlashStart the service once was not available for about half an hour.
