The easiest way to make your Internet safer, faster and more reliable.

Web Filtering is a great solution. It will protect both you and your family. 

"As the children have started getting online OpenDNS has been invaluable as a barrier against sites I wouldn't want them to accidentally visit."

If you aren't already using Web Filtering, you should take a minute and set it up now. 

"I chose OpenDNS for the extra safety it provides. Having OpenDNS add another layer of security between the computer and the Internet feels good, and so far it's worked perfectly."

Control Internet access with rock-solid Web filtering. 
Web filtering lets you manage acceptable use and compliance policies, putting you in control.

Manage the Internet experience on your network with pre-defined category bundles, custom policies, whitelist-only mode and domain blacklist and whitelist. Create exceptions using time limited or persistent bypass codes or credentials.

• Category-based filtering
  
  Rich database of more than 56 categories, covering millions of domains, allows you to control which sites can be accessed on your network. The easy-to-use Web-based administration console allows you to quickly set up and manage different Internet access policies per network, giving you greater control of your organization's Internet usage.
  
  
• Block Page Bypass
  
  Block Page Bypass is an innovative feature that allows the granting of special permissions to bypass filtering settings without the use of any software or appliance. This feature enables you to assign individual users, such as your marketing managers, the ability to access specific filtering categories, such as social networking, or individual domains that are normally blocked on your network. Bypass privileges can be granted persistently on a per-user basis or through use of a bypass code, which grants access for one hour to 10 years.
  
  
• Whitelists and Blacklists
  
  OpenDNS enables you to customize our category-based filtering to meet each network's specific needs. Quickly create exceptions to allow or block specific domains, regardless if the category it belongs to is allowed or blocked.
  
  Whitelists allow you to ensure that a particular site is always accessible, even if the category it belongs to is being blocked. Blacklists operate in the opposite fashion by ensuring that a site on the blacklist is never accessible. Enterprise customers can have 500+ entries in their whitelist and blacklist to accommodate custom needs.
  
  
• Whitelist-Only
  
  Whitelist-Only feature is best used for networks where Internet access should be restricted to specific domains. This allows for a “locked-down” and controlled Internet environment.
