Protect public Wi-Fi from malicious activity by deploying DNSFilter on your network.
Securing guest Wi-Fi protects both your guests and business from harm. Guests are protected from cyber threats and phishing scams, and your brand stays safe from inappropriate content being accessed in your store or workplace.
Any sized business or organization can benefit from DNS protection. Some of the most common include:
- Cafes and restaurants
- Airports
- Hotels
- Public transportation
- Retail stores
- Schools
Deploy DNSFilter to safeguard Public Wi-Fi
The easiest way to protect your brand is with DNS Network Forwarding, which applies a single policy across every device on the network. See DNSFilter deployment options for a full comparison of deployment methods.
Follow the DNS Forwarding instructions in Get started with DNSFilter to set up Network Forwarding for your business.
Tips to get started
Prepare your network. Your internet service provider or existing security settings could have settings in place that prevent DNS forwarding. Use our resources to set your network to allow DNSFilter to work as expected.
Configure your network. Depending on the size of your business, you'll likely configure your network traffic to point toward DNSFilter from the DHCP Server, though very small businesses may find it easier to configure from a router.
Filtering for your brand. Use our Filtering Policies to best represent your brand. Highlights include blocks for adult content, phishing scams, cryptomining, and automatically enforced blocks on sites that host CSAM.
Pick your pricing. Add users (full-time employees) and Wi-Fi access points (devices that boost and broadcast Wi-Fi signals) to determine the number of licenses to add to your subscription.
