The record

Purpose: DNS Protection filters DNS requests to protect individual devices through an agent or network devices through DNS forwarding.
Threat blocking: It blocks access to malicious domains, including command-and-control servers, and can help prevent data exfiltration through DNS.
Encrypted DNS: The agent uses DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for encrypted DNS resolution, while the product can control access to other DoH providers.
DNS leak prevention: The DNS Leak Prevention feature is described as a device-level DNS firewall that stops processes from resolving DNS outside the agent.
Network coverage: Network filtering can cover corporate Wi-Fi, LAN, and guest Wi-Fi, including devices without an agent.
Roaming coverage: The DNS Protection agent routes DNS requests through Webroot servers to enforce filtering and logging when users are on different networks.
Policies and reporting: A web-based console provides DNS policy controls and reporting, and administrators can configure how DNS requests are logged.
Privacy: Administrators can configure what DNS request information is captured to help comply with GDPR.
Threat intelligence: The product uses Webroot BrightCloud Threat Intelligence, which the maker describes as using sixth-generation machine learning.
Deployment: The DNS Protection agent is available as an MSI or can be deployed through Webroot Endpoint Protection; the agent can only be installed on Windows endpoints.
Mac coverage: The maker says Mac endpoints can be protected through a DNS Protection network using a VPN or on-site.
Integrations: Webroot says its solutions integrate with leading RMM and PSA platforms for partner operations.
Trial: A full product trial is available free for 30 days.
Support: Webroot provides DNS Protection technical support through its business support page, including phone support and a ticketing system.
