DNS Filtering

Advanced DNS-based prevention that blocks dangerous or undesirable domains before threats reach devices or networks

The Problem

Why DNS Filtering is critical for real online protection

Traditional security tools often try to neutralize threats after they have already reached a device, which is too late. Modern cyber threats include invisible malware, perfectly cloned scam pages, fraud-oriented sites, and explicit content spread everywhere. These threats are increasing in complexity, and human review alone can’t keep up. DNS, or Domain Name System, translates human-readable domains into machine addresses. By monitoring and filtering DNS resolution in advance, FlashStart stops access to undesirable domain categories before any threat can impact the network or endpoints.

Protection and prevention

FlashStart’s DNS Filtering technology operates at the DNS resolution level. Instead of waiting for content to load or inspecting URLs after download, it examines domain activity before resolution, blocking resolution when the domain falls into an undesirable category. This prevents attacks and unwanted browsing before they ever touch devices. Real protection starts with prevention: by stopping DNS resolution of bad domains, threats are neutralized at the earliest point in the connection process. Rather than relying only on keyword matching or outdated URL blacklists, FlashStart leverages a classification of domains into stable, trackable categories, making filtering far more accurate and effective. DNS Filtering applies to all network traffic, including links opened from emails or messages (phishing), without requiring additional software or hardware on endpoints. Policies can be set for users, groups, machines, or schedules directly from a centralized cloud dashboard.
