DNS Angel

The Internet is filled with all sorts of pages, the darker side offering access to generally offensive subjects that kids should not be exposed to.

DNS Angel is a simple way to keep them protected by filtering out unwanted content automatically, by just changing the DNS setting. The feat is achieved by directing the connection through specific domain name servers that manage a high amount of domain names and censor pages with content inappropriate for children.

The application works right out of the box and there is no need to install it on the system or to configure it in any other way than to enable the desired DNS server.

It has a simple interface that lists the servers and allows you to revert the settings to the first DNS or restore the initial configuration of the computer.

As soon as the DNS is changed the program automatically makes the connection and informs of the status. Since green is the universal code that everything is okay, it is also used in DNS Angel to let you know that the connection to the server operates without a glitch.

Among the DNS server choices available in the product there are connections through Norton servers, through MetaCert, OpenDNS and Yandex. Adult content is filtered by all of them but the difference between them consists in accuracy and number of pages they restrict access to.

Running your computer connection this way can not only protect against adult content but also against pages that serve malware.

DNS Angel is a very simple solution that gathers multiple options for running a safer connection. It does not require any configuration and provides feedback about the status of the connection.
