FamilyShield

Block adult web content with our free family web filter

The single easiest way to keep your kids safe online — and away from adult websites — on your home Internet for free. No software to install.

The best solution I've found: OpenDNS FamilyShield."

— Rick Broida, PC World

  • Every Internet-connected device in your home gets protected, instantly
    When you set up FamilyShield on your router, every device in your home that shares that Internet connection gets protected too. Your kids' Xbox, Wii, DS, iPad, and cell phone also get protected.
  • This Web filter is always up-to-date
    We block a constantly updated (24/7) list of adult Web sites from ever reaching your computer.
  • Comes with built-in security
    Take the guesswork out of identifying fraudulent sites. FamilyShield automatically blocks identity theft or "phishing" websites and virus-spreading malware websites.
  • Makes your Internet faster and more reliable
    What's more, the service is powered by OpenDNS, a company trusted by millions around the world, including thousands of schools, businesses, and homes like yours to secure their Internet connections.

What does FamilyShield block?

  • Adult websites that are unsuitable for kids
  • Proxy and anonymizer sites commonly used by savvy kids to bypass traditional Web filters
  • Phishing sites that aim to trick you into handing over personal or financial information
  • Some virus-spreading malware websites

What's the difference between FamilyShield and OpenDNS Basic?
Choose FamilyShield if you're looking for a quick, no-fuss way to protect your children from adult content online for free. Choose OpenDNS Basic if you'd like a more customizable alternative — you can block or unblock lots of other types of sites, see reports on how your family uses your Internet connection, and more. OpenDNS Basic offers everything FamilyShield does, and it's also free, but it requires a few extra setup and customization steps.
