DNS Filtering

The first line of defence. Millions of harmful domains are refused at the resolver — ads, malware, phishing, adult content, gambling, social bypass sites — before the device can even open a connection. Fast, cheap, and independent of what browser or app the student is using. Sits alongside the secure web gateway so nothing relies on a single list.

What it does

2.8 million domains, refreshed weekly

Curated community blocklists plus school-specific overrides. Updates land automatically — you don't maintain the list, you just decide which categories are on.

Six categories, toggleable per school

Adult content, gambling, malware & phishing, ads & trackers, social media, fake news. Flip a category and the change is enforced network-wide within a minute.

Works on every device, no agent required

Set the school's DNS and every phone, tablet, laptop, Chromebook or IoT device on the network is filtered automatically. Zero install, zero per-device configuration.

Custom allow & block rules

Override any domain school-wide. Allow what you trust, block what you don't — regardless of the global lists. Takes effect in seconds.

Live activity, trend chart and AI insights

Dashboard shows queries per minute, top-blocked domains, who's being blocked, and an on-demand AI-written summary that flags unusual patterns for the IT admin.

Off-network IP whitelist

Add school routers' public IPs so the filter reaches devices on the school LAN without needing the VPN tunnel. Everyone else gets refused — the filter isn't an open resolver.

Who it's for

Every UAE school. The baseline ADEK control for content filtering — and the foundation the secure gateway layers on top of.
