Open DNS opens the internet for your family and church

  • July 13, 2018

OpenDNS is super easy to set up and once setup in your router covers all devices connecting to it. It’s very good at filtering inappropriate content like pornography or many other categories that are laid out

As a church we provide public access to internet and feel good about doing our part to prevent inappropriate content and scams from reaching our users
