AdGuard DNS Family Protection
Hey guys!
Just want to remind you about Adguard DNS "Family protection" mode. It allows to limit the access to websites with undesirable content. And this is especially important for those who have little internet users at home.
Let's have a closer look at features of this mode:
Blocking of adult websites
After switching to Family protection, access to all adult websites will be restricted. Thus, when visiting such website, all the child will see is the following warning message:
Safe search
In addition to the blocking of direct access to inappropriate websites, Family protection also includes safe search in popular search engines (Google, Bing, Yandex). What does it mean? The obscene content will be removed from search results:
Just like our regular ("default") mode servers, "family protection" servers block ads, trackers and phishing websites. But they work with the said additional bonus - blocking of adult websites and safe search.
Basically it works like Parental control mode in desktop versions of Adguard.
And Family protection can also be found in Android version and Pro version for iOS.

A long time ago we added a Web of Trust extension (to monitor websites reputation) to Adguard for Windows and Adguard for Mac. Today we found out that Web of Trust is suspected of selling the browsing history of millions of users to third-parties.
We decided to make an official statement regarding this to assure everyone that extension in Adguard has nothing to do with it.
Be warned, fellows.
Recently Kryptowire (company that provides mobile application security analysis tools) has found out that there are several models of Android mobile devices that contain firmware, which collected personal data of users and transmitted this sensitive info to third-party servers. Surely, without users' consent.
