Filtering Services
Content filtering, privacy protection, and parental control services
Filtering Services
Filtering services provide comprehensive content filtering, privacy protection, and parental controls for network traffic. These services enable administrators to enforce security policies, protect users from malicious content, and support family digital wellness objectives through DNS filtering, HTTP proxying, and behavioral control mechanisms.
In This Section
DNS Filtering
DNS-based filtering and blocking providing network-wide protection through domain resolution manipulation. Integrates Pi-hole for ad-blocking, DNSCrypt-proxy for encrypted resolution, and custom zone configurations for network-specific filtering policies.
HTTP Filtering
Web proxy services providing deep packet inspection and application-level content filtering. Implements Squid proxy for content caching and Privoxy for HTTP header manipulation and SSL/TLS interception capabilities.
Parental Controls
Family-focused filtering and access control features including content category filtering, device-specific policies, time-based restrictions, bandwidth management, and safe search enforcement.
Anonymity Services
Privacy-enhancing services enabling anonymous internet access and traffic pattern obfuscation. Provides Tor network integration, SOCKS5 proxy access, and transparent routing for privacy-conscious users.
Security Filtering
Intrusion prevention and security monitoring services protecting against threats and policy violations. Includes Fail2ban intrusion detection and other defensive mechanisms.
Service Integration
Filtering services work together in a coordinated architecture:
- DNS Layer: First line of defense filtering at name resolution
- Proxy Layer: HTTP content inspection and application-level filtering
- Behavioral Controls: Time-based and device-specific access policies
- Privacy Services: Tor and encrypted DNS for enhanced privacy
- Security Monitoring: Intrusion detection and threat alerting
Key Capabilities
- Network-Wide Protection: Filtering applied to all connected devices
- Granular Control: Device-specific, user-specific, and time-based policies
- Privacy Options: Anonymous access through Tor or encrypted DNS
- Family Safety: Content categories, time restrictions, and usage limits
- Performance: Caching and optimization reducing bandwidth consumption
- Threat Prevention: Malware detection and intrusion prevention
