PowerDNS:PowerDNS Parental Malware Control

PowerDNS Parental & Malware Control

PowerDNS safeguards your customers with multi-level access control for safe browsing using a combination of rock-solid PowerDNS servers coupled withWeb filters that use categories to define which domains should be blocked for particular clients. In addition to categories, Parental Control supports time windows, white lists and black lists for fine-tuning access control. Features such as configurable NXDOMAIN redirection and an easy-to-use Web Control panel round up the offering. When used with appropriate CPE equipment with support for EDNS-client, Parental Control can decide based on the client’s IP address.

The PowerDNS Parental Control & Malware detection uses a combination of blindingly fast Constant Database (CDB) files, Response Policy Zones (RPZ) and a PostgreSQL database table from which it bases the policy to apply for DNS queries. We offer this to provide subscribers with the peace of mind that all devices on their network (including those they don’t understand or know about) are under control.

For sensitive environments queries to search engines are redirected to 'safe search'.

Thanks to the use of DNS resolution only, unfiltered domain names do not restrict devices
