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 requirements. Our free family filter, for example, blocks 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. Our custom filters give you full control on what should be blocked. You can pick from 14 predefined filters (Adult, Gaming, Gambling, Torrents, Weapons, Social Network, etc), but also make your own rules and block/allow any domains you wish. Custom block pages can also be created on the Pro plans and all the plans allow for network visibility (see which sites are being visited from your network).
It’s ok
I really wanted this to work but it’s to easy to uninstall. Beyond this app makes my WiFi drop all the time making my phone unusable for certain periods of the day. Plus it’s no longer being updated and possible abandoned. EDIT: I finally had to uninstall, my phone became unusable. Such a shame as this product works great on PC.
Unable to enter custom code on ipod touch
Hello, the screen is too small on my ipod touch to press the green confirm button after pasting my custom code. The easiest way to fix this without having to resize screens to optimize for smaller devices would simply be to have the "return" button act to enter the code / do the same thing as pressing the green confirm button. I would really appreciate being able to use this on my ipod touch
Best mobile filter I’ve found
I like that this forces safe search on search engines because it’s really easy to get around most and see adult images with the right choice of words in a search, even if the url is blocked because you still have the image preview. However I have Xfinity and am using their router and they prevent changes to the dns addresses for some reason, I guess to be annoying. I got this app to work, though I found the router kept kicking me off the network over and over until I deleted the app. So if you have xFinity and their router, it might not work for you.
Easy to use
Easy setup. I use in conjunction with Apple’s content restrictions.
Needs trouble shouting.
This app does not allow me to use my mobile data, it disables it.
Data connection error
This app was working great for the first few months. Nothing was breaking on my phone and all was well. But about a month ago something changed with the vpn or my iPhone or whatever and now if I have the VPN on it disrupts my Data connection and I can’t use it. I can’t use anything that requires data because it tells me to connect to a network (when I am) and on my certain websites work, others say that there is “no IP address found” Please try and fix this!
Amazing product.
Did not expect to find a product that would solve all my Open DNS problems, but CleanBrowsing was the solution for our iPhones, Kindle fires and PC. Great instructions.
