This article defines Filtering Policy settings found under Labs in the DNSFilter app. 

Labs gives you access to powerful new capabilities we’re actively testing and refining. These features are designed to offer more control, insight, or performance—and a preview of what’s coming next.

Because these are still in development, we recommend enabling them only in environments where occasional instability is acceptable. Your feedback is invaluable during this phase and helps us shape their final release.

Check out other Filtering Policy options to see all the ways to configure your policy to meet your threat protection needs:

• Filter by category to block large lists of undesirable domains at once
• Enforce privacy safeguards on search engines and block ads, trackers, and third-party data collection to enhance user privacy and reduce distractions online
• Filter for Threats like Cryptomining, Malware, and Phishing
• Block common application's full domain list in a single click with AppAware, making it easy to block access to apps like Discord or GitLab
• Schedule Filtering Policies for specific times of day or week

Labs options

Blocked threats are indicated in blue and a icon, just like blocked categories or threats.

Navigate through these options in-app: From the DNSFilter dashboard, navigate to Policies and select Filtering. Select a new or existing Policy to edit, and tab to Labs to view these options.
