Yeah, we make your life easier with our 100% reliability and we save you time with super speedy browsing. We even keep you and yours safe with optional phishing protection. But often times it’s hard to quantify the amount of money we save you.

Not anymore, say our customers.

Since launching adult site blocking earlier this month, we’ve heard our free service is saving thousands of dollars for companies and organizations who would otherwise pay for a similar service that does the exact same thing – often not even as well as we do it.

This is great for companies, but even greater for schools and libraries with very limited technology budget, combined with regulations requiring filters to keep kids safe online. Like Jackson School District and Berkeley Public Libraries.

We’re glad we can provide you such an awesome service without exhausting your budget.

The Internet is a big place and even with the best filtering you will eventually stumble upon a site you wish you could just “un-see.” Unfortunately, we can’t erase that mental picture from your mind, but we can let you help protect others from the same experience.

When you stumble across a site you think should be blocked by one of our 6 categories of adult site blocking, let us know. Head on over to the adult domain checker, enter the domain of the site, and click the “Check this site” button. If there is no match against the St. Bernard iGuard database, you will be given the opportunity to submit it for human review.

You can even consider it your good deed for the day.

The famous quote about defining pornography is “I know it when I see it,” from a 1964 Supreme Court case. I’m glad we’re working with St. Bernard Software to get human-reviewed categorization of adult sites for our adult site blocking service.

At home, I’m the network administrator. While testing adult site blocking, I learned that you need to be careful what you block. My wife alerted (ahem) me to my overzealous blocking. For the interested, TMZ.com is classified as both lingerie/bikini and adult themes. I cannot disagree… but it’s still a fun celebrity gossip site. It’s no longer blocked on my network, though other categories are.

That kind of control is useful, and it’s why we offer 6 categories, so you can make the right choices for your network.

Avoid making my domestic misstep. Check a site to find out whether it would be blocked, and why.

Last month, when we launched the ability to block specific domains, we heard from you loud and clear: you want the ability to block adult websites in an easy way that puts you in control. Today we’re excited to offer you that ability.

Like everything else we do, we wanted this feature to be powerful and simple to use. That’s why we teamed up with the smart folks at St. Bernard Software (a leader in internet filtering) to make it happen. St. Bernard’s iGuard service is the only 100% human-reviewed system of its kind with millions of sites categorized and reviewed.

Everyone has a different idea of what they consider to be adult content and we wouldn’t pretend to guess what it is. That’s why we’ve broken our adult site blocking feature into six categories that cover different themes. Pick the ones you want to block or don’t block anything; it’s up to you.

If you’re interested in blocking adult content, OpenDNS is the easiest way to do it. Like all our other features, it requires no on-site hardware, there’s no software to install or update, and it’s free.
