UnveilDNS

What UnveilDNS is

UnveilDNS filters DNS traffic to protect networks from malicious and fraudulent websites and to control access to content. The maker describes it as an on-premise deployment with unlimited bandwidth and users. It can block sites associated with malware and ransomware, protect against phishing attempts, and apply customizable category filters to inappropriate or distracting content. The product monitors DNS traffic continuously and provides real-time reports on network activity, blocked threats, and security trends. DNS requests are checked against threat-intelligence databases that the site describes as constantly updated. Encrypted DNS options include DNS over HTTPS, DNS over TLS, and QoT access, with certificate management available. The free Community plan lists unlimited devices and requests, filtering by 120+ services, safe browsing and search, DNS redirections, custom black and white lists, and real-time traffic information. Secured costs $199 a year; Ultimate costs $299 a year and lists 40-category filtering, family protection, country geo-blocking, and custom RPZ files. Platforms include Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, web, and self-hosted environments.
