Cost-effective, easy-to-manage DNS firewall

ScoutDNS is simple to configure, whether your external address is static or dynamic. Categories are easy to configure as allowed or blocked, and exceptions can be added for either allowed or blocked sites. Logging allows you to see what is being blocked (or allowed) and what category the request most closely matches; can add any site to the allow/block list directly from the log page. One-click social media block is genius! Support team is excellent and they are responsive to questions and feature suggestions. Trial period allows you to demonstrate the product with no commitment from the client. We use this in educational (K-12) settings, as the price and feature set cannot be beat.

Great for Schools

The Relay allows filtering by subnet. I can have custom filtering for students, teachers, servers, and even thermostats and appleTVs.
