Does OpenDNS provide content filtering?
OpenDNS offers the easiest way to filter Web content and prevent access to unsafe or inappropriate websites on your network. OpenDNS enables you to quickly block content with three predefined, easy-to-use Web filtering levels. You can also customize the Web categories to filter or allow access only to the websites you specify.
In addition, when a user attempts to visit a blocked website they will be directed to a landing page provided by OpenDNS, but customizable by you. If you provide your email address on this page, your users can contact you with questions. Attempts to visit blocked pages are also saved in reports that you can view from your OpenDNS account.
