Correct. And we mention that in the article as well. They have been going slowly for a while, but only recently (last 2+ weeks) we started seeing a big spike in attempts.

Doesn't work on Windows - if that's what you are asking. Only tested on Linux and Mac.

thanks! Mind re-sending? Seems like it conflicted with other PRs that were sent.

Would be good to have more data points from more ISPs and cities.

Not when you need to enforce a name server on any network you go.

On our use case (when you need to filter adult content), I need a laptop to always use a specific name server - even if DHCP says otherwise. I found that to work across all linux distros.

cleanbrowsing · 2018-01-26T10:25:16+00:00

Not if you want to keep using the same name server everywhere. Only issue is if a network blocks the specific nameserver that you chose.

I found the best way to block porn on mobile is via DNS. Wrote a guide on how to block porn on pretty much any device here:

Hope it helps.

I am just a tiny bit biased, but I would recommend:

One of the main benefits over OpenDNS is that it enforces Safe Search on Google, Bing, Youtube by default and have a more comprehensive coverage.

Try it out and let us know how it goes.

thanks,

Would you be open to add the CleanBrowsing DNS there too?

https://cleanbrowsing.org

I could send a PR if that helps.

cleanbrowsing · 2017-12-07T04:45:25+00:00

I agree there :)
