OpenDNS is the smartest and easiest way to protect all Internet access in your home.

 * Award-winning parental controls that protect everything

Millions of parents use award-winning OpenDNS to manage their family's Internet access. Protect your entire family on computers, gaming consoles, mobile devices and more.

Today's families have an array of Internet-connected devices in their homes, from computers to gaming consoles to smart phones. OpenDNS is the only parental controls service that empowers parents to manage Web access across every device that accesses your home network, including phones and computers that your kids' friends bring into the house. Make a simple settings change on your router, then choose the content you want to block. OpenDNS takes effect across your entire household immediately – from your family computer to your kids' gaming console.

Choose the setting that's right for your household
Each household is unique, so OpenDNS gives you flexibility in blocking content. We divide the Internet's millions of websites neatly into 57 categories, like "adult," "games," "academic fraud" and "social media." Block entire categories of content, or just choose to block the individual websites that you know are problematic or unsafe for your kids.

Open up the lines of communication
OpenDNS also opens lines of communication between you and your kids by letting you customize the page your kids see when a website's been blocked. Write a message to them and even add an image to best explain why you've chosen to restrict their access.



     
    * Leading anti-fraud and phishing protection

      The Internet can be a dangerous place, but OpenDNS keeps your family safe online. Take the guesswork out of identifying fraudulent phishing scam websites and allow your family to browse the Web with confidence with OpenDNS.


    * Faster, more reliable Internet

      Speed website load times and make your family's Internet faster with OpenDNS. Say goodbye to frustrating, intermittent Internet outages and hello to a faster and more reliable Internet connection.


    * Easy, no-bloat service

      OpenDNS is the easiest way to protect your household and speed up your computers instead of bloating them with annoying software.


    * Command central for parents

      The larger your family, the harder it is to keep track of everyone's activity online. OpenDNS gives you a helpful command central where you can easily see which websites have been visited from all Internet-connected devices in your household. See which blocked sites your kids have attempted to access, and easily block those inappropriate or unsafe sites your kids are visiting.

What's the difference between FamilyShield and OpenDNS Basic?

Choose FamilyShield if you're looking for a quick, no-fuss way to protect your children from adult content online for free.
