How Does DNS Filtering work?

DNS filtering is a cybersecurity tool that uses the Domain Name System to block access to harmful or inappropriate websites. When someone tries to visit a site, their device sends a request to find the site’s IP address. DNS filtering steps in to check this request against a list of blocked or approved domains. If the site is on the blocklist, the request is stopped, keeping the user safe from dangerous content. This process safeguards users from phishing, malware, and other online threats, creating a more secure browsing experience. It also gives organizations the ability to manage what content is accessible on their networks, boosting overall security.
