Cloudflare introduced today '1.1.1.1 for Families,' a privacy-focused DNS resolver designed to help parents in their efforts to safeguard their children's online security and privacy by automatically filtering out bad sites.
This new tool makes it simple for parents to add protection from malware and adult content to the entire home network, allowing them to focus on working from home instead of worrying about their kids' online safety.
"1.1.1.1 for Families leverages Cloudflare's global network to ensure that it is fast and secure around the world," Cloudflare's CEO Matthew Prince said in an announcement published today.
"And it includes the same strong privacy guarantees that we committed to when we launched 1.1.1.1 two years ago. And, just like 1.1.1.1, we're providing it for free and it’s for any home anywhere in the world."
Two default options
Cloudflare's new DNS-based parental control service can easily be set up by changing your router's or your computers' primary DNS and your secondary DNS servers to the ones Cloudflare provides.
1.1.1.1 for Families comes with two options: the first one will automatically block malware content only, while the second is designed to block both malware and adult content from reaching your children while they browse the web.
The DNS servers you need to use to activate the parental control service are as follows:
For malware blocking only:
• Primary DNS: 1.1.1.2
• Secondary DNS: 1.0.0.2
For malware and adult content blocking:
• Primary DNS: 1.1.1.3
• Secondary DNS: 1.0.0.3
