Yes , if you change the DNS settings, they can not change it with the restricted user account
I run a lab of 27 computers and have been looking for an inexpensive way to limit access to inappropriate websites and malware sites. This software looks like it might do the trick. I have a restricted user account on all the computers, so if I run this from the admin account and change the DNS, would it then apply to the restricted user account without them being able to change it?
Thanks,

it is a Portable Application you can’t install it and you don’t need to uninstall it (just delete), if you mean how to turn back to your default dns just use “Default DNS button” or you can use “Restore DNS” button
how to uninstall it on our computer.
hi
your software is good and simple so it’s great ! 😀
add comodo secure DNS to your software !
tnx.
Thank you for the informative comment Paul
Hi there. Thanks for adding MetaCert to the list. In answer to which is the best, I have a very strong opinion.
To control access to inappropriate websites and other categories, then I would recommend either Norton or OpenDNS. MetaCert does not help you to control access to any of these categories.
If you would like to control access to inappropriate websites, then MetaCert’s DNS is the very best in the world. This is all that MetaCert does – with over 655 million pages labeled – or 32 billion URLs – this number is great than the total number of URLs covered by all categories by other companies.
As I said, Norton and OpenDNS are good for general family safety.
As I said ; the simplest way is to create a restricted standard user account for your children so that they cannot change the DNS settings
Hello,
is there a (simple) way to lock DNS changes on Windows ?
this would be awesome to include this kind of lock (or continuous check) in DNS Angel 🙂
DNS settings in Windows will override the one on your router. For example, if you’ve configured your router to use OpenDNS FamilyShield but on the computer is using the Google Public DNS, the computer will end up using the Google’s DNS rather than OpenDNS. To prevent the DNS method being bypassed, you will need to create a restricted standard user account for your children so that they cannot change the DNS settings.
Question: my computer is hooked up to a router and that router is using OpenDNS (not family) will this app change anything there or does it only affect the computer it is run on?
Goal is exactly the same but each service quality is different and they always update their databases therefore I can not say which one offers the best protection , you can test all of them and find your best , currently ; OPen DNS Family and Norton con. Safe2 seems better but as I said it is changeable , Thanks
