Guardian-CORR vs. Public DNS Filtering

Free DNS blockers can filter your whole house — but they stop there. Here's the difference.

Guardian-CORR

A filtering gateway with per-child policy, managed by a portal.

  • Per-child profiles with age presets
  • Bedtime schedules and Pause Internet
  • Bypass protection — VPN, proxy, and alternate DNS
  • Alerts, activity feed, and access requests
  • Managed blocklists that update automatically

Public DNS filtering

Pointing your router at a free family-safe DNS resolver.

  • Free or very cheap
  • Set-and-forget basic blocking
  • One-size-fits-all for the entire house
  • No profiles, schedules, or alerts
  • Weak against VPN workarounds
Where Guardian-CORR fits

Public DNS filtering blocks broad categories for the whole house — useful, but blunt. Guardian-CORR adds per-child profiles, schedules, bypass protection, and visibility, all managed from a simple portal.

Protect your whole home in minutes

Plug in the gateway, create a profile, and every screen in the house is protected.
