description Yandex.DNS Overview
Yandex.DNS is a free DNS service offered by Yandex. It filters internet traffic through its servers, blocking access to potentially harmful websites based on predefined lists. Users can select from basic, safe, or family filtering modes to customize protection for their home network. This service is primarily useful for families and individuals seeking an additional layer of internet security and content control at the router level.
help Yandex.DNS FAQ
What are the three Yandex.DNS filtering modes?
Yandex.DNS offers Basic, Safe, and Family modes. Basic provides ordinary DNS resolution, while Safe and Family apply increasingly strict blocking rules intended to reduce access to harmful or adult material.
How do I use Yandex.DNS on a home router?
You set the router's DNS server addresses to Yandex.DNS addresses, then save and reconnect devices so they receive the new settings. Router menus differ, so the exact steps depend on the manufacturer and firmware.
Does Yandex.DNS replace parental-control software?
No. DNS filtering works at the domain-resolution level and cannot provide every feature of a dedicated parental-control app, such as per-user schedules, detailed activity reports, or complete app-level blocking.
Can Yandex.DNS block every dangerous website?
No filtering list can identify every harmful site immediately, and DNS filtering may not block content hosted inside an otherwise allowed service. It is a broad network safeguard, not a complete security system.
