Features & Capabilities

CleanBrowsing DNS is a DNS-based content filtering service that helps families browse the web safely by intercepting domain requests and filtering sites according to your rules. The free Family filter blocks adult content while still allowing popular sites like Google, YouTube, Bing, and DuckDuckGo to load safely.

In addition to three predefined global filters (Security, Adult, Family), you can choose from 14 predefined custom filters or create your own rules to block or allow any domains. Custom blocks can be created on the Pro plans, and all plans include network visibility to see which sites are visited on your network.

User Reviews

Users praise CleanBrowsing.org DNS for easy setup and strong content filtering that helps family safety and safe-search across devices. However, recurring issues include VPN instability that intermittently blocks internet and mobile data, ease of uninstalling or bypassing protections, limited support, and concerns about ongoing updates. Overall, it’s useful and user-friendly but stability and security vulnerabilities are recurring drawbacks for several users.
Pros
  • Easy setup and intuitive use with a one-button on/off control.
  • 4-digit PIN provides quick security to unlock the filter.
  • Effective content filtering / safe-search enforcement for kids.
  • Useful for family safety and works across multiple devices.
  • Simple to use in combination with other Apple restrictions.
Cons
  • VPN frequently disconnects and disrupts internet connectivity (e.g., 30 seconds to reconnect, several times per day).
  • App can cause data connectivity issues, including blocking mobile data or interrupting apps when VPN is active.
  • Easily uninstallable or disableable, raising security concerns.
  • Limited or no customer support for account or setup problems.
  • Notable reports of limited updates or the project feeling abandoned.

I love this app. It’s honestly been great. It’s been really helpful. Honestly my one complaint (a pretty minor one too) is that sometimes the VPN disconnects for apparently no reason, and I have to wait for probably about 30 seconds for it to reconnect before I can use the wifi again. This does happen fairly often too, I’d say about 3-4 times a day. Other than that, this app is great!

There is no support team. I have been locked out of my account and I have no way of fixing it because they don’t have a support team

Would be better if there was a way to block disabling a custom filter
