Website monitoring and reporting

Hi. I have setup OpenDNS so that I can monitor which websites are being accessed. When I go into the stats page there are tons of websites and a lot of gogledegook ones that Ive never heard of. Is there any way to just get a list of websites visited and to be able to verify if the strange ones are safe ? 

Or do I have to search every single entry I dont recognise and try to figure out if its safe or not?

    Hello,

    Unfortunately with home accounts there is no real automated way to sort the domains. 

    Regarding the "gogledegook" domains these are usually domains generated by some sort of application on one of the user's workstations that's "pinging" to see if there's a live internet connection. It could be an antivirus program, or any other application that does such checks.

    We don't block these domains because they're not valid domains. This means that blocking them from our side wouldn't actually do much, and if they are legitimate domains that are malicious, they usually come in the form of DGA (domain generated algorithm) domains and we block those already on our malware side of things.

    I hope that helps
