Getting started with DNS Filter


The DNS Filter provides an added layer of protection to your devices and network by actively blocking requests to malicious websites.

Once your account has been set up, you can log in via this link:

dnsfilter.uptimewebhosting.com.au

Sites

Sites are how you manage your protection.  You may only have one site, such as 'home office' or 'corporate HQ' or you can have multiple sites based on your needs. Once you have a site, you can apply protection to it and assign users.  You can also use multiple sites to split up departments in your organisation.

Follow this guide to set up your first site: DNS Filter Sites

DNS Filter Client

First, you will need to set up the client on your device. Windows, Mac, iOS (iPhone and iPad), Android and ChromeOS are all supported.

Follow this guide to download and install the client: Install Client

Policies

Malicious and phishing websites are blocked by standard settings, but you can lock out other websites by creating a policy.

We provide a pre-built Not Safe For Work (NSFW) block policy that automatically blocks non-work-related websites. You can use the policy or create your own.

Follow this guide on how to create and apply policies: DNS Filter Policies
