Protective DNS and content filtering for businesses, MSPs and schools
Updated
DNSFilter is a protective DNS and web content filtering service for businesses, schools and managed service providers (MSPs) that blocks malicious and unwanted domains at the DNS layer. It is sold per license with Core, Plus, Enterprise, Education and MSP options.
Administrators point DNS traffic at DNSFilter or install a roaming client on devices, then set policies by category, user or location. Each DNS request is checked against threat intelligence and category data and either resolved or blocked. Logs can be exported to a SIEM, and an MCP connector lets an MCP-compatible assistant investigate DNS activity.
DNSFilter is used by IT teams at small and midsize businesses, schools and MSPs that manage many client networks. The MSP plan is partner priced with a monthly minimum spend.
DNSFilter lists Core at $1.00 per license per month billed annually or $1.15 billed monthly, with a $240 per year minimum. Plus is $2.25 per license per month billed annually or $2.50 monthly, with a $750 per year minimum. Enterprise and Education are quoted, and MSP partner pricing starts at $150 per month. The page shows only a dollar sign for currency. A 14-day free trial includes all generally available capabilities.
DNSFilter offers a Zapier integration, an API, an MCP connector, SIEM export to tools such as Splunk and Microsoft Sentinel, identity integrations with Microsoft Entra, Active Directory and SSO via Okta, Azure AD or OIDC, and PSA integrations with tools such as ConnectWise and Autotask.
Cisco Umbrella is an enterprise secure internet gateway with DNS security as one component. Zscaler and Cato Networks are broader secure access platforms. Coro is a modular security product aimed at small businesses. DNSFilter focuses on DNS-layer filtering with simpler per-license pricing.
