Web Protection
Blocks ads, trackers, malware & adult sites at the DNS level. While on, TreeIQ manages your DNS; turning it off restores your original DNS.
What to block
Loading…
Force SafeSearch
Makes Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and YouTube hide explicit results
Family
Strict adult filtering
Also blocks the adult .xxx/.porn/.sex domains and sites with explicit words in their name. Catches more, but may occasionally block a normal site — add it to Always-allow if so.
Strict
Cloud lookup
Checks sites the local lists don't cover against TreeIQ's live threat database. Catches fresh malware, phishing and adult sites the moment they appear. Falls back safely if offline.
Live
Cloud strict mode
Also block sites the cloud marks as "suspicious" (e.g. brand-new domains). Stronger, but may occasionally block a safe new site.
Strict
Always-allow list
Sites here are never blocked, even if a category would block them.
